Bank of England Struggles with Uncertainty Over Inflation Amid Iran War
The Bank of England is facing challenges in predicting inflation due to uncertainty surrounding the Iran war, which has caused fuel prices to rise sharply. Inflation increased to 3.3% in March, but economists warn that this figure provides limited insight into future inflation trends. The Bank is expected to hold interest rates at 3.75% in its upcoming meeting, with analysts predicting no rate hikes for the remainder of the year.
