Bank of England (BoE) Holds Rate Steady at 4% in Tight Vote

The Bank of England decided to hold the interest rate in a tight vote on Thursday and signaled that the rate will follow a gradual downward path if the disinflation process continues. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), led by Governor Andrew Bailey, voted 5-4 to retain the bank rate at 4.00%.

The central bank had reduced the rate five times since August 2024, which is now at its lowest since early 2023. In a finely balanced decision, Bailey said the overall risks to medium-term inflation moved down to become more balanced recently, and there was value in waiting for further evidence.

The majority of policymakers placed greater weight on risks of persistence in inflation, requiring more prolonged monetary policy restrictions, the BoE said. Meanwhile, four MPC members voted to cut the rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%. The extent of further reductions will depend on the evolution of the outlook for inflation, the bank said.

"If progress on disinflation continues, Bank Rate is likely to continue on a gradual downward path," the BoE added. "We need to be sure that inflation is on track to return to our 2% target before we cut them again," Bailey said.

Policymakers noted that inflation at 3.8% in September is likely to be the peak. Inflation is forecast to fall close to 3% early next year before gradually returning towards the 2% target over the subsequent year. The economy is forecast to grow only 0.2% in the third quarter due to weaker growth in exports to the U.S. and disruption linked to the Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack. Headline GDP growth is expected to pick up to 0.3% in the fourth quarter. 11/06/2025 - 09:01:00 (RTTNews)
