Easing inflation impacting lenders

UK inflation dropped sharply to 4.6% in October, the lowest since August 2022.

This eases the pressure on the Bank of England on maintaining high interest rates. Morgan Stanley is now forecasting a rate cut in 2024, as inflation is expected to fall below the Bank’s 2% target by then.

The drop in inflation and the prospect of lower interest rates could stimulate the demand for borrowing.

This could be great news for private credit as we move into the new year
