The BoE held interest rates as expected last month, but they did deliver a shock vote split. Three members of the vote-setting committee voted to cut rates by 0.25%, which was more than expected, with 6 voting to keep rates on hold.
The BOE’s statement that accompanied the decision also stressed the disinflation in the UK’s economy in recent years, and the weakness in the economy, along with the loosening in the labour market. The Bank noted the ‘two-sided risks to inflation’ but continued to say that a ‘gradual and careful approach’ to rate cuts remains appropriate.
