Interest Rates: Bank of England

On October 9, 2021 Bank of England policymaker Michael Saunders made an announcement to get ready for “significantly earlier” interest rate rises due to inflation pressure. The timing of this announcement is similar to that of September 26, 1929 when the Bank of England raised its discount rate from 5.5 to 6.5% just prior to the 1929 stock market crash.
