LONDON (MNI) – The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee left
both the total amount of quantitative easing unchanged at stg200 billion
and Bank Rate unchanged at 0.5% following its monthly meeting today.
The decision was in line with market expectations, with almost
no-one in the markets anticipating any change to the current emergency
settings of monetary policy.
The MPC did not release an accompanying statement – which is in
line with normal practice when there is no change in policy.
