"This month's rate cut will ease some pressure for businesses under strain, especially following recent National Insurance changes, and provides hope for a more stable environment that can foster long-term growth and investment."
"Lower borrowing costs open the door for more leveraged deals, and we're already seeing increased interest in lower-mid-market assets that might have been priced out just a few months ago."
"While a reduction in interest rates may offer a modest boost to household finances, it's not a major concern for most people right now - particularly for those without a mortgage."
The Bank of England has lowered interest rates from 4.5% to 4.25%, driven by fears surrounding President Trump's tariffs and their effects on the global economy. This change is expected to relieve some pressures on businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Mike Randall from Simply Asset Finance emphasizes the need for tangible solutions from the government for SMEs. Meanwhile, lower borrowing costs may boost mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, according to Hamish Martin of LAVA Advisory. However, Stephen Brockway of Maru notes that the cut might not significantly impact household finances, particularly for those without mortgages.
