- UK BOE Monetary Policy Report News
As widely expected, the BoE lowered its policy rate by 25bps to 4.75% this morning, in an 8–1 decision that was accompanied by a cautious communique and Monetary Policy Report that were generally shy on guidance, as well as a classically dry Gov Bailey press conference. Last week’s UK Budget and Tuesday’s US elections have given the BoE a lot to digest so soon before today’s announcement and will likely continue to influence their thinking on whether to ease again in December. That aside, there are two rounds of jobs/wages, CPI, and ...
Nobody will be very surprised to learn that the Bank of England has cut interest rates this month. Bank Rate has been taken a quarter point lower for the second time this year, which leaves it at 4.75%. Instead, everyone wanted to know what the Bank made of the latest budget. Big spending increases will, investors have assumed, reduce the scope of the BoE's rate-cutting cycle. Take a glance at the BoE’s new forecasts, and it’s tempting to conclude that the Bank agrees. Growth is higher and it expects inflation to be at 2.2% in two ...

Our Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decides what monetary policy action to take. The MPC sets and announces policy eight times a year (roughly once every six weeks). In this video, the MPC discusses the decisions taken in Nov 2024 and answers questions from the press.
Between 2021 and 2023 we raised interest rates to slow down price rises (inflation). It’s working. Inflation fell back to the 2% target in May of this year from a peak of just over 11% in 2022. Since then inflation has stayed close to the target. Easing inflationary pressures meant we were able to cut interest rates to 5% in August. We are cutting interest rates again today, to 4.75%. We expect inflation to rise slightly again over the next year, to around 2¾%. Inflation is expected to fall back to the 2% target after that. If ...
Market consensus points to further easing by the Bank of England's (BoE) upcoming interest rate decision on Thursday. The BoE has held rates steady at 5.00% in the previous gathering, but shifting investor sentiment now suggests a possible 25-basis-point cut this week. At the bank’s September 19 meeting, policymakers stuck to quarterly rate cuts for now, with a November cut the most likely outcome. Regarding quantitative tightening, the committee voted unanimously to maintain the pace of reducing bond holdings by GBP 100 billion over ...
The Bank of England is likely to cut interest rates on Thursday for only the second time since 2020 but the big question for investors is whether the BoE sends a signal about its subsequent moves after the government's inflation-raising budget.The BoE has had almost a week to chew over new finance minister Rachel Reeves' first set of tax and spending plans, which Britain's official budget forecaster thinks will raise inflation as well as economic growth next year. Consumer prices look to rise by 2.6% in 2025, according to the Office ...
