Bank of England cuts rates to 4.75% - Industry Insights from Flagstone International. We’re pleased to share our Head of Banks, Helen Vieira’s commentary on the latest BoE rate cut, as featured in IFA Magazine. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the UK’s monetary policy as inflationary pressures ease, allowing for a shift in focus toward economic stability. As Helen notes, "This move aligns with global economic trends as major central banks weigh the risks of slowing growth against inflation control."
