Press Release Summary: The rates of interest would be kept on hold by the Bank of
England for the running next week.

Press Release Body: London (Longdogfinance) Aug 01, 2008: It is expected that the
Bank of England might remain stagnant for the fourth month running next week as it
efficiently continues to draw a thin thread between a sharp and slowing economy and
emerging inflation.

This week the polling of all the 76 analysts by Reuters predicted that the Bank\'s
Monetary Policy Committee would stop transaction costs pegged at about 5% on
Thursday during the end of its two-day meeting.

It was really amazing that the policy makers were cleaved three ways last month and
as such a term "difficult decision" was faced by almost all of them.

\'A rate cut was essential to forbid the economy which was slithering into recession\'
said David Blanchflower, while Tim Besley wished hike in rates to testify that the
Bank was serious in fighting inflation. However, others preferred that the rates
should be stagnant.

The preconception appeared to be rearing rates but the MPC would feature new
forecasts for next week\'s meeting which might display that inflation would
undershoot the 2% target in two years\' time.

These are some of the important factors that Bank would be looking at.

RISING PRICES
The CPI inflation strike 3.8 percent in June, which is nearly double the central
banks\' 2% target. It is even anticipated to go rise still, possibly exceeding the 5%
in the coming months as the immense increases in household bills has been declared
by utility providers.

MATURATION
The GDP increased by 0.2% in the second quarter but however, the surveys have been
assuming that the growth might be even weaker than that.

HOME PRICES
The prices of the houses have already fallen about 10% from their limit and are even
anticipated to keep sledding down. The mortgage approving, a good preeminent
indicator of prices, is actually at a record low and the number of attributes
altering hands has also dropped to half over the last year.

CONSUMER SPENDING
It is really stunning that May\'s rise in retail sales was turned in June. Yet
anecdotal evidence and surveys indicate the retail sales are getting more weaker.

The domains of manufacturing, jobs, pay and oil prices would also be taken into
consideration by the bank.
