Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

I feel QE will be unwound before rates rise. I would imagine that it is a policy that hangs pretty heavily on the shoulders of the Bank of England and one they'd like to be shot of as soon as possible/practical.
As ever, there are 3 numbers to look to: the M4 measure of money supply, GBP/EUR and GBP/USD exchange rates. Those are likely to be the things driving inflation if you are to get any (inflation and the RPI aren't always the same thing, confusingly).0 -

I agree. But the money supply and future fiscal policy all points to one thing. And it isnt inflation.0
