Interest rates are expected to rise to 3% on Thursday, as the Bank of England attempts to curb double-digit inflation.
Economists expect interest rates to rise by 0.75 percentage points after inflation returned to a 40-year high of 10.1% in September.
Financial markets have priced in an 84% chance of a rise to 3% and a 16% chance of a full one-point rise to 3.25%.
The biggest single rate rise the central bank has made in its 25 years of handling monetary policy is 0.5 percentage points – delivered in its past two meetings.
