Interest Rate Cuts
According to information, interest rates in the United Kingdom could be reduced to their lowest level in three years amid the country's battle with unemployment crisis. Swiss bank Lombard Odier forecasts a decrease in rates from the current 3.75% to 2.75% after summer.“We predict that rates will fall after summer.”Lower interest rates could provide support for the economy and promote its growth, considering the existing issues in the labor market. This is especially important in conditions where many people are looking for new employment opportunities. Authorities and economists hope that measures aimed at lowering rates will help improve the situation.
