BoE keeps interest rates unchanged

1 Nov 2018 04:49 PM

The Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged today and hinted at a slightly faster future rises in borrowing costs if Brexit goes smoothly, but warned of a devastating Brexit.

The bank said it had voted unanimously to keep interest at 0.75%, in line with expectations, after the Bank of England raised interest rates for the second time since the financial crisis in August.

The Brexit dominates the future of the world's fifth-largest economy, which has slowed since Brexit membership referendum in June 2016. Most forecasts suggest interest rates will remain unchanged until mid-2019.
