Bank of England (BoE) on Thursday made its 14th consecutive increase in interest rates, bringing them to their highest level since early 2008. The central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points, setting them at 5.25 per cent. The bank emphasized that the persistence of high inflation makes it improbable for them to halt the rate hikes anytime soon, according to a Reuters report. Bank of England's move indicates that borrowing costs are likely to remain elevated for the foreseeable future. The initial response in the financial markets was mixed. The pound experienced a drop but later recovered some of the losses, while stocks remained in negative territory.

This achievement comes after experiencing a peak of 10.5 per cent at the beginning of the year.
