BoE maintains bank rate and asset purchase fund
The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee at its meeting today voted to maintain Bank Rate at 0.5%.
The committee also voted to maintain the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves at £375 billion, and so to reinvest the £14.4 billion of cash flows associated with the redemption of the September 2014 gilt held in the asset purchase facility.
The minutes of the meeting will be published at 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday 17 September.
