ft.com/content/202fbe49-f352-4af2-bd6a-5fc36263b203
Quick Glance: Bank of England to Maintain Interest Rates amid Inflation Signals
- The Bank of England is expected to keep interest rates unchanged as it looks for clearer signs that pay growth and services inflation are cooling enough to allow for a cut in borrowing costs.
- Financial markets are largely predicting that the BoE's benchmark rate will be held at 5.25 percent, marking the fifth consecutive meeting with no change.
- Steady monetary policy in the UK this week would align with major central banks like the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, indicating that rate reductions will only come when inflation is consistently decreasing.
- The BoE remains cautious about weighting individual labor market releases and will wait for more data on new wage settlements before committing to rate cuts. Official inflation figures for February are expected to further decrease to 3.6 percent.

The secret deal that saved the Barclays: Was the twin brothers' business empire built on an ancient fraud?
economist.com/interactive/britain/2024/03/14/the-ancient-deal-that-saved-the-barclays
Quick Glance: The Historical Deal that Rescued the Barclays
- The Barclay family refinanced their debts worth about £1.1bn with funds from RedBird IMI, an American outfit backed by sovereign money from the United Arab Emirates. The deal envisioned the Spectator and the Telegraph possibly belonging to an Arab government.
