Rationale

With inflation at 2.5% and the economy stable, a modest 30bps rate cut eases debt servicing costs for households without reigniting inflation. This specifically supports the 7.2M children's households and first-time buyers who are most sensitive to mortgage rates, thereby supporting long-term demographic and housing stability.
