Bank of England decides to maintain interest rate at 0.1%
After the interest rate meeting of the Bank of England, the Policy Committee (MPC) decided to keep the interest rate unchanged at 0.1% by a 9:0 vote. And decided to expand the asset purchase scale from 100 billion pounds to 745 billion pounds with 8:1 votes, and is expected to complete the bond purchase around the end of the year. The action is in line with market expectations. The Bank of England statement stated that recent data show that the local economy has recovered from May this year, which does not rule out the degree of local economic contraction in the second quarter, which is lighter than expected in May. However, due to the substantial weakening of the local labor force, preparations have been made for further action to stimulate the economy, but there is no mention of whether the negative interest rate policy will be implemented.
