Bank of England’s Bailey says no rush to raise interest rates amid Iran war uncertainty

Inflation can be tolerated above 2% target for now ‘given context of softness in real economy’, governor says
The Bank of England is in no rush to raise interest rates while the outcome of the Iran war remains uncertain and the UK’s growth rate stays weak, its governor, Andrew Bailey, has said.
In a signal that borrowing costs will remain at 3.75% at least during the summer, Bailey said it was tolerable for inflation to stay above the Bank’s 2% target during the current crisis. However, that would change if a more permanent increase in prices began to take effect, he said.
