Quilter Cheviot's Richard Carter warned on October 21, 2026, that rising UK inflation strengthens the case for higher interest rates.
September inflation rose to 3.5% from August's 3.1%, driven largely by transport costs, particularly motor fuels.
Public sector borrowing reached £24.5 billion in September, exceeding forecasts by £1.9 billion ahead of John Healey's first Budget.
Borrowing totaled £97.8 billion in the financial year's first six months, £6 billion above the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast.
Public debt surpassed £3 trillion for the first time, with September debt interest of £10.9 billion constraining the government's spending ambitions.
