The debate is fierce: some push for aggressive rate increases to quell inflation, but others counsel prudence, concerned about unforeseen economic or financial blowbacks.
It's anticipated that there won't be a change in the interest rate for September, but an increase is on the horizon for the subsequent months. With the forecasted inflation for August pegged at 3.6%, all eyes are set on the official announcement come September 13th.
