The high street lender is slashing interest rates before a likely cut this year

GETTY

Since May 2024, the consumer price index (CPI) rate has eased to this level but the Bank has so far refused to reduce the base rate further.

Analysts are pricing in an interest rate cut in the latter half of the year.

Homeowners and those in debt will benefit down the line from a reduction as repayment costs will down eventually.

The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is next set to meet to discuss the base rate on August 1, 2024.
