UK consumer borrowing jumps as mortgage approvals dip — what the Bank of England data shows

British consumer borrowing rose by the most in two years in November, while mortgage approvals for house purchases edged lower, Bank of England data showed on Monday. Consumer borrowing grew by a net 2.08 billion pounds during the month and mortgage approvals fell to 64,530 from 65,010 in October, the data showed. “Speculation about tax rises ahead of November's Budget didn't influence households' spending decisions too much,” said Alex Kerr, UK economist at Capital Economics.
