UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves received support from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey despite fears that her budget, which proposes £142 billion in extra borrowing and is predicted to raise inflation, could destabilize the economy. Over the past months, the BOE has cut rates twice, easing pressure on Reeves, who faces concerns about inflation and economic overheating. Bailey indicated that further rate cuts are likely, suggesting a more optimistic outlook on economic growth and household finances despite a substantial payroll tax increase.
