Higher rates punish low paid, says Bank's Swati Dhingra
By Dharshini DavidChief economics correspondent, BBC News
Higher interest rates could ultimately hit younger workers and those on lower incomes the hardest, a member of The Bank 's rate setting committee has warned.
Dr Swati Dhingra is one of The Bank of England's nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee.
The Bank last month held interest rates at 5. 25%, the highest in 15 years.
These rises have led to higher mortgage and loan repayments for some, but also higher savings rates.
Dr Swati Dhingra joined the Monetary Policy Committee in August 2022.
Since then The Committee has voted to raise interest rates nine times to curb inflation. Each Time , Dr Dhingra voted against a rise or asked for a smaller one than was ultimately decided on. She cited concerns over the impact on households and businesses.
Speaking exclusively to The Bbc She Said : " The economy's already flatlined. And we think only about 20% or 25% of the impact of the interest rate hikes have been fed through to the economy.
" So I think that there's also this worry that that might mean that we're going to have to pay a higher cost than we should be paying. "
Interest rates take at least a year, typically, to fully affect the economy, as higher debt repayments force households limit spending.
Businesses may also cut jobs, with over 200,000 shed from the UK's labour force in the Early Summer .
Due to recent data, including a dip in activity or GDP In July , The Bank of England now expects the economy to grow only very modestly over the Second Half of this year.
Dr Dhingra thinks it may be Even Worse .
" When you're growing as slowly as we're growing now, the chances of recession or not recession are going to be pretty equally balanced. So we should Be Prepared for that…it's not going to be Great Times ahead. "
Weaker spending and job cuts ultimately triggered by higher rates could hurt younger workers and those on lower wages particularly badly; the same groups who are among the hardest hit by inflation, She Said .
" The kinds of price increases that we're seeing, which is energy and food, those will typically impact Those People more. And Then the interest rates will also typically impact younger, less educated people more. So…. eventually when we come out of all of this, we're going to see that possibly inequality is going to rise. "
Nevertheless she says her colleagues didn't take the decision to raise rates lightly.
" Nobody is doing this with a smile on their faces, I think it's very hard to see the sort of deprivation when we go to regional visits, and we hear about it…there are just are Horror Stories Out There . "
With the UK experiencing particularly stubborn inflation, the IMF has cautioned that interest rates may Stay Close to current levels for five years; some Bank officials have also suggested they are unlikely to fall soon.
But there is much uncertainty around. Last month's decision by The Bank not to raise rates again was largely unexpected. As Dr Dhingra points out, if growth falls by much More Than it expects from here, a cut may happen sooner.
