Interest rates have now reached yet another record-high following the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee meeting today (August 3).
After a majority vote of 6-3, the base rate has now been raised to 5.25 per cent - up from 5 per cent in June - which is now the highest level seen since March 2008.
