Bank of England raises interest rates by 25 basis points to 5.25%, marking the 14th consecutive hike as policymakers aim to curb inflation. The Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-3 in favor of the rate increase. Inflation is projected to fall to 4.9% by the end of the year, providing relief for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt welcomes the news, expecting headline inflation to be below 3% in a year's time without causing a recession.
