The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) sets monetary policy to meet the 2% inflation target, and in a way that helps to sustain growth and employment. At its meeting ending on 19 June 2024, the MPC voted by a majority of 7–2 to maintain Bank Rate at 5.25%. Two members preferred to reduce Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 5%. Twelve-month CPI inflation fell to 2.0% in May from 3.2% in March, close to the May Monetary Policy Report projection. Indicators of short-term inflation expectations have also continued to ...

The Bank of England was set to hold its interest rate steady on Thursday despite slowing UK inflation, with higher price risks and Britain's looming election preventing a cut, according to analysts. Ahead of the 1100 GMT announcement, the Swiss National Bank unveiled a second straight interest-rate cut, after becoming in March the first Western central bank to slash borrowing costs that had been raised to battle inflation. Norway froze rates Thursday. The BoE was widely forecast to keep its cost of borrowing at 5.25 percent, a ...

Taylor Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour is continuing to supercharge consumer spending as it enters its U.K. leg, suggesting that the Bank of England may not be out of the woods yet in its fight against inflation. As hundreds of thousands of dedicated Swifties flock to London in August to see the singing sensation during her final U.K. dates, the economic boost could be enough to defer a possible September interest rate cut, according to investment bank TD Securities. “We still anticipate a BoE cut in August, but the inflation ...

The BoE’s May MPC meeting saw Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden join long-term dove Swati Dhingra in calling for an immediate 25 basis point cut in interest rates. The other seven members all again opted for no change. Approaching this month’s meeting, there has been a further, but less than wholly convincing, decline in inflation, while wages have remained stubbornly robust. Consequently, with the real economy having moved out of recession, the overall mix has left speculators expecting no change in Bank Rate and the first cut to be ...
