The Bank of England maintained interest rates again this week as inflation fell again. So, are we out of the woods yet?
Will inflation continue to fall towards the target and will the Bank of England soon return seamlessly to rate cuts?
Or will central bankers be keen to maintain higher interest rates even as we are hit by a bout of disinflation?
In this week’s podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert look at what’s next for inflation and interest rates and what this means for your money.
Also in the episode: Should the Waspi women who saw their state pension age rise rapidly be compensated for the poor communication and to what extent was this week’s victory of parliamentary ombudsman Waspi a victory for them?
As that happened, more news emerged about underpaid state pensions – as revealed by our Tanya Jefferies and pensions columnist Sir Steve Webb, and the team are updating us.
Plus, what’s going on with the chaos at HMRC and who is to blame for the inability to keep up with our increasingly burdensome tax system.
And finally, you’ll meet the Scambaiters – we’ll discover what they do and why.
