The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates again today for the thirteenth time in a row after inflation remained unchanged at 8.7%.
The base rate - which influences the interest rates many lenders charge for mortgages, loans and other types of credit - is currently at 4.5%.
Some analysts expect the base rate to rise by 0.25 percentage points to 4.75% - with others predicting an even bigger increase to 5%.
