Inflation and interest rates 13:42 - Oct 20 with 763 views | Catullus | Get yourself sorted pronto because while they are saying inflation is at 3.1% the stats show raw material costs have risen by over 11% and factory gate prices are 6.74% up. The experts predict an 80% certainty that interest rates are going to rise to levels higher than we've seen (in the last 13 years) by the end of next year. | |

It's not shortages though, there is no shortage of food or petrol, it is a supply chain issue. Raw material costs are rising because of high demand. Prices are rising, interest rates will rise so people should look at their finances and see if they can mitigate these rises. Take us, we are locked into a fixed rate mortgage for the next 8 years, we have made changes to our daily living to try and keep gas and electric usage down and save money, I make my son walk to school more to save petrol. Do what you can to save money because times are going to get harder. | |

As the world economies try to recover from the financial effects of the pandemic, the UK embarks on a net zero carbon emissions, that will cost billions. I wonder if Boris had Diane Abbott to help him with his sums on this. | |

We're "building back better " don't you know , not sure who's interpretation of better is but it doesn't seem to align with mine | |

I think he's referring to the work on the Houses of Parliament, or as I like to call it, Bedlam. | |

Inflation and interest rates on 18:13 - Oct 20 with 626 views | pikeypaul | When countries have spent 100s of Billions getting us through the pandemic high inflation is their friend.Simple economics. 🇺🇸 inflation has been twice ours the last 18 moths and Germany is higher also. Every business out there is jumping on the band wagon, you only have to look in certain pubs to see the difference in price for exactly the same product, ditto supermarkets. The sooner the public wake up to the tip off merchants that frankly take the pi55 with their prices the better. | |

Food in pubs is eye watering now. What used to be £9 is now routinely £15 and they are just as full! A car I was looking at last year, still unsold a year later, was £34k now £43k. It’s insane. But yes, government strategy will be to encourage high inflation and burn anyone on a fixed income. Until they need the votes, anyway. This is where Brown’s excellent idea of an independent Bank of England should kick in. But it won’t, they’ll play politics and their wild printing of money is encouraging it. If you have a mortgage now’s the time to fix as long as you can. A friend (amazingly) just got 1% . | |

It will cost billions if we do nothing. Flooding, fires, extreme weather all cost billions. And this will keep happening as night follows day. Supply chains will be broken. Gas prices already through the roof. The only option is the net zero carbon commitment. It will create jobs. Renewal energy is essential, like the Tidal lagoon. Its spend on one thing, or spending on the other thing. We could tax the rich to pay for it, they did ok from the pandemic. | |

We remortgaged just before interest rates dropped to basement levels and we are fixed til 2029 at 2.17%. We could have gotten cheaper but it was only for 3 or 5 year deals and I wanted long term certainty. We don't eat in pubs, we don't eat out often anyway and it's only since the football opened up I've been going to the pub again. The bank should be independent, you're right. | |

The Bank of England is independent and set the interest rate to try to keep inflation around 2% . No doubt they will increase base rate either in November or December. | |

The bank is techically independent but I'm not convinced. Carney certainly made political decisions, in my opinion. | |
