So, what'll the Bank of England do this time? House prices have seen some significant drops, but inflation is on the rise.
We've predicted it correctly on the last 6 polls, let's see if we can make it 7 in a row.
Remember to vote for what you think the MPC will do, not what they should do. :money:
Current base rate: 5.0%
Last month's decision: CUT 0.25%
Inflation: CPI 2.5% (target 2.0%)
