Press Release Summary = The Bank of England (BoE) is likely to increase the base
rate of interest in order to bring down the rate of inflation.

Press Release Body = London (online-unsecured-loans) May 17, 2007: As the central
bank targets to bring down the inflation rate to around 2 percent in the next two
years, a further hike in interest rates seems imminent. In its quarterly Inflation
Report, the Bank said risks to the Consumer Price Index rate were still on the
upside, signalling that the rise in interest rate is just around the corner.

The Bank raised borrowing costs by a quarter-point to 5.5 percent earlier this month.
Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec stated: \"It does nothing to shake our view
that interest rates will rise in the next few months\".

A further hike in interest rate may prove costly to those borrowers who have already
taken secured or unsecured loans from the lenders. However, it may be good news for
those engaged in savings. Every time the base rate increases, borrowers have to cope
up with the higher instalments on their loans.
