According to Jin10 Data, on June 29, Bank of England Chief Economist Huw Peel voted to support raising interest rates to 4% in recent meetings, citing concerns that inflation remains elevated above the central bank's 2% target. Peel warned that policymakers "should not be complacent" about the current inflation situation, as energy price increases driven by Middle East tensions pose risks of further inflation. He emphasized that inflation above target should still be treated as a problem, noting that the central bank's mission is to maintain inflation at 2%.
