The Bank of England is preparing the ground for lower interest rates

The Bank of England has voted to keep interest rates unchanged, but showed what was perhaps the clearest sign in years that cuts could come in the months ahead. Bank governor Andrew Bailey said the economy is “not yet at the point” where rates can be lowered, but things are “moving in the right direction”. For the first time since September 2021, no-one on the nine-person decision-making body that sets interest rates voted for an increase. Report by Covellm.
