Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
MUFG expects the ECB to raise rates 25bp in December and again in Q1 2027, and the BoE to hike 25bp at its next meeting and again in February to a 4.25% terminal rate. UK headline inflation is seen above 4%. France's deficit, near 6% of GDP with debt around 120% of GDP, drives its main euro risk, with a 45% 'continued drift' base case.

Key arguments
- ECB: October hike ruled out by bond selloff and French fiscal risk, but December and Q1 2027 hikes still expected.
- BoE: energy-driven inflation and a stabilising labour market leave little room for complacency; 4.25% terminal rate.
- UK growth tracking 0.65% Q/Q in Q3; MUFG forecasts 1.5% in 2026 and 1.4% in 2027, above the IMF.
- France: fragmented parliament and repeated missed targets; base case is continued fiscal drift.
Key numbers
- BoE terminal rate
- 4.25%
- ECB rate hikes expected
- 25bp in December, 25bp in Q1 2027
- UK headline inflation
- above 4%
- France deficit (base case)
- 5.6-6.0% of GDP
- France debt
- ~120% of GDP
Main risks
- Deeper French credibility crisis (15%): OAT-Bund spread above 200bp, deficit well above 6% of GDP and recession.
- Higher borrowing costs could slow or pause ECB QT and dampen the need for hikes.
- UK fiscal headroom cut to around £15bn; reducing buffers amid geopolitical uncertainty.
Corresponding source evidence
We forecast growth of 1.5% in 2026 and 1.4% in 2027, despite energy-related headwinds.
· 2026Combined with a stabilising labour market, healthy growth and still- elevated underlying inflation, the BoE will struggle to look through the shock.
We expect a 25bp rate hike at the next meeting, followed by another hike in February to a terminal rate of 4.25%.
