LONDON, Dec 16 (Reuters) - British annual wage growth, excluding bonuses, slowed to 4.6% in the three months to October, the Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday.
A Reuters poll of economists had mostly expected regular wage growth of 4.5%. The reading for the three months to September was revised up to 4.7% from 4.6%.
The Bank of England is watching pay as a gauge of how long Britain's high rate of inflation is likely to last.
The central bank is expected to cut interest rates to 3.75% from 4% on Thursday. Investors and analysts expect one or possibly two more cuts in 2026.
