Bank of England holds rates at 3.75% but warns higher inflation unavoidable

The Bank of England has left interest rates unchanged at 3.75% but warned that higher inflation is unavoidable due to the Middle East conflict. The MPC voted 8-1 to hold, with only chief economist Huw Pill favoring a hike to 4%. UK inflation rose to 3.3% in March. The Bank presented three scenarios: in the worst case (C), oil reaches $130/barrel, inflation peaks at 6.2% in Q1 2027, and rates would need to rise to 5.25%. Governor Andrew Bailey said the decision depends on the duration of the energy price shock.

UK and EU near finalising sanitary and phytosanitary agreement to reduce Brexit trade barriers. Deal would end physical checks on farm produce and £200 veterinary certificates, potentially reopening Scottish langoustine and mollusc exports. However, customs, VAT and safety declarations would remain. Labour proposes dynamic alignment with 76 EU food laws.

UK-EU SPS Agreement Could Boost Scottish Seafood Exports, Reduce Trade Barriers

The UK and EU are close to finalising a sanitary and phytosanitary agreement to reduce Brexit trade barriers. The deal would end physical checks on farm produce and eliminate £200 veterinary certificates, while potentially removing "Not for EU" labelling requirements. It could significantly boost Scottish langoustine and oyster exports, though customs, VAT and safety declarations will still be required. The agreement involves "dynamic alignment" with EU rules, though critics argue the UK has leverage for a mutual recognition approach instead.
