					<description><![CDATA[re boe/libor:

depends on the mortgage.  fixed rates are sold based on swap rates (future expectations of rates over X years).  tracker rates are often linked to 3 month libor, even though they claim to be boe trackers.  a lot of them genuinely do track the boe rate, but even then an elevated libor means higher borrowing costs for mortgage lenders, so those will be passed on in higher prices for other products.]]></description>
