Press Release Summary: The BoE has informed a slash in interest rate. It is now more
concerned about keeping inflation under control.

Press Release Body: London (Ask4loan) February 28, 2008: The UK economy is slowing
but price pressures are on the rise. This situation alerts the policymakers to
remain aware of the double risks. The interest rate prevailing in the financial
market is showing a sign of reduction. Bank of England officials informed that
interest rates will come down gradually.

The dilemma of inverse relationship between the reduction in retail sale and
increasing price has put BoE in a mess. Price structure has increased at its fastest
rate in last 12 years. Decreased sales have not cut down the price due to the easy
availability of credit cards and unsecured loans. As borrowing is now restricted to
homeowners only, there is a chance of development in the perplexed situation.

In last three years the Business investment has fallen to its sharpest rate due to
the credit crunch. Companies have hunkered down for a slowdown in the property
market.

The rising food and energy prices signify that people expect prices to keep rising
at a rate above the central bank\'s 2 percent target. There is also an anticipation
of a sharp reduction in interest rate. However, the reduction needs to balance two
significant risks- the first one is the financial stress that will precipitate an
unduly sharp slowdown in demand. The second one is the fear of high inflation. If
interest rates are cut down drastically, there is every chance of a vertical
inflation. Compared to the slash in the interest rate, a period of weaker consumer
spending and stagnation of house prices are more necessary to re-balance the
economy.
