Comment on Fighting the Inflation by Troy

Troy — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 04:16:48 +0000

Three or four per cent? According to the historical data on interest rates in Britain there have been times when rates have raised more than 10 per cent!!!

Take a look at historical records. In 1989 the official base rate was 15 per cent, which is about a 10 per cent increase from the current base rate.

Not only that but it stayed above 10 per cent for three and a half years.

I do agree with the article that inflation trends are stubborn, and base rate trends are just as stubborn, but three of four per cent? I think people should consider what would happen if rates were more than 10 per cent higher.

With 30-year mortgages high interest rates are a real threat in the long term.

My mate got a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Office of Fair Trading asking for his bank account details so they could help him reclaim bank charges. Surprise, surprise, it’s another scam.
