Michael Saunders, member of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee, said that it was necessary to raise interest rates in the coming years to keep inflation under control. He noted that inflationary pressures in the UK were increasing, as the weakness of the labor market was almost completely eliminated. Earlier, the head of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, in an interview with the BBC, said that the likely increase in the base interest rate of the Central Bank of England in the current year would be gradual. His statement caused a decrease in the pound sterling, and after the speech of Saunders the pound dropped to the dollar by 0.3% to 1 dollar 40 cents.
