Decision on Bank Rate to be decided this week

03 March 09

In view of the continuing poor economic data, the Monetary Policy Committee faces a difficult decision when it meets this week. The view has been expressed that the Bank Rate will be kept on hold at 1%, and that the Bank of England will instead press ahead with asset purchases to bring down the cost of borrowing for households and firms, boosting the money supply in the process.
