The Bank of England on Thursday raised UK interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point to a 15-year peak of 5.25%.

Britain’s currency crisis may have an upside after all – at least for foreign investors. Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman is paying 80 million pounds for 17th-century country estate Conholt Park, the City A.M. newspaper reported. That deal would have been agreed long before a recent collapse in sterling, prompted by Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s so-called , which pushed the pound down to $1.07.
