But this week the Bank\u2019s own chief economist Huw Pill warned that it would have to slow its pace of cuts in order to ensure it does not lose control of inflation again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the most recent inflation report, investment markets anticipated that the bank rate would fall to 3.5% by the end of the year.
