Press Release Summary: The expectations of Central bank received a terrific jolt
when they were exposed to the fact that the inflation rates for the month of July,
has risen more than twice than what they anticipated.

Press Release Body: London (Longdog Finance) August 25, 2008: The month of July
witnessed a steep rise in the rate of inflation. The 4.4% annual inflation rate
broke the record of last 11 years in the economic history of the UK. Earlier top
economist had predicted a rise to only 4.1 percent.

Most of the experts feel that the chief factors that have contributed to this steep
rise in the rate of inflation are the food and fuel prices. But in reality, dropping
house prices and poor per capita spending are the factors that are making sure that
economy goes down to a stage from where it becomes impossible to recover.

The policy framers of the reputed Bank of England, earlier did not made any changes
in the rates of interest after witnessing the last week\'s inflation figures. But in
near future, even they too are expected to take some harsh decisions to combat with
the rising inflation rate. Michael Saunders, economist, Citigroup, said, "There is a
little chance the Monetary Policy Committee will cut rates in the next few months,
and indeed, there remains a near-term risk that the MPC will hike rates if inflation
expectations surge higher again.\" But despite that there is a slim chance that the
Bank of England will slash the rates to 4.75 percent in the month of December.

For those who are facing difficulties in raising deposit for property in adverse
market conditions, availing loan at cheap rate of interest may be a good option.
