Interest Rates Held July 10th, 2008
As expected, the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee have kept interest rates on hold at 5%. With inflation at 3.3% against a target of 2% this was the only decision the MPC were likely to take, despite incresing economic concerns and fears that the UK could be entering a recession. If there are further signs of a downturn, the Bank must be prepared to act quickly and cut rates.
