    The Committee’s updated central projections for activity and inflation are set out in the accompanying May Monetary Policy Report. The projections are conditioned on a market-implied path for Bank Rate that rises to around 2½% by mid-2023, before falling to 2% at the end of the forecast period.

    a Zopa SS deposit was very quick, not made any withdrawals yet; I made a withdrawal from Aldermore before 1:50pm today and it's already arrived in the nominated account... it's been a while since I made a deposit to Aldermore from a nominated account, so can't remember the time that takes... though sometimes it has been next day I think.
