    So.

    The BOE reduces the rate for O/N Deposits from 1/2 % to say 1/4 %, or even b*gger all, it'll have a huge effect on fixed Mortgage Rates for 2 ,3 and 5 Years ???

    What a stupid article.

    Typical This is Money drivel, rehashing an old story.

    in (loose) theory though, nothing will change.....

    they will still be making 10 basis points on anything they stash at the 'big bank'

    everyone, considering that rates are so much higher than the base rates and that they're not lending as much as seems to be necessary for some people, although i would also state that rates are not 'high' as such

    well i agree that mortgage rates are too high, in comparison to the base rate, but i don't see how a cut in the interbank deposit rate at BOE will lead to even higher mortgage rates :confused:

    well i dont really understand these things, i just feel cynical that if they arent getting as much money from their deposits with BOE then they want more from me!!

    12/18mths ago banks didn't get anything from the BOE, because the facility wasn't there... that didn't effect the mortgage rates

    this BOE interbank deposit facility has no bearing on how a bank sets its mortgage rates

  • There is seems to be a lot of assumption that lending will go to the mortgage market, I think this is only one area.
    Business lending is a big target as well.
