While the BoE are expected to keep rates on hold this week, further down the line it's inflation in particular which might force members to vote to raise rates once more. "Our central forecast remains that rates stay on hold through the rest of the year. The labour market is still soft enough, and growth weak enough, to prevent a sustained pickup in domestically generated inflation," he said. Clearly, a lot of focus will be on upcoming economic data during the summer, including GDP figures and wage growth rates. "Policymakers likely want more evidence that inflationary pressures remain under control [before raising rates]," he said.
