Interest rate rises under spotlight at Investec event
TheBusinessDesk.com has teamed up with Investec Wealth & Investment to host an event which will explore how the inevitable rise in interest rates will affect Yorkshire businesses.
A panel of experts from the property and investment sectors will examine the impending increase in rates from the current historic low of a 0.5% base rate at the breakfast seminar at the Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Leeds on Thursday, September 25.
The event, chaired by TheBusinessDesk.com founder David Parkin, will feature a panel including Darren Stubbs, managing director of Leeds-based housebuilder Stonebridge Homes; Wayne Bowser, non-executive director of private equity fund Endless and Beal Homes; and John Haynes, head of research at Investec Wealth & Investment.
Rowena Houston, senior investment director at Investec Wealth & Investment in Leeds, said: “This event raises the topic of interest rates at a very interesting time. Many economies are recovering and the question of whether interest rates are at the right level is very pertinent.
“We now know that 2 members of the MPC voted in favour of higher rates at the last meeting but what effect will higher interest rates have on the UK economy and how will it affect our competitiveness overseas? These questions and more will be tacked at this debate.”
