[Bank of England's Dhingra: Winter Performance Will Be Key to Assessing UK Inflation Risks] Jin10 Data, September 24 – Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Dhingra stated on Thursday that the extent of long-term inflationary pressure on the UK caused by the Iran war will become clearer in the coming winter months.

She noted that signals regarding wage negotiations and other medium-term inflation drivers should gradually become clearer by the end of 2026. She also refuted the view that "raising interest rates early is crucial to maintaining the Bank of England's credibility in combating inflation.
