Ramsden Warns Interest Rates May Hike Amid Inflation Fears

Bank of England official Andrew Ramsden has suggested that interest rates may need to rise if inflation pressures continue to build. Speaking on the matter, Ramsden noted that the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is closely monitoring economic data and will take action if necessary to keep inflation in check.

Ramsden emphasized the importance of maintaining price stability, stating that 'the MPC would need to consider a response' if inflationary pressures were to intensify.
