The Bank of England reduced rates for the first time since 2020 amid rising unemployment & and a slower pace in the increase in inflation

Sharing is Caring!

The Bank of England has indeed taken action to address economic conditions. In a 5-4 vote, the bank lowered its main interest rate by 0.25%, bringing it down to 5%. This reduction marks the first time since early 2020 that the bank has cut rates. The decision was influenced by signs that inflationary pressures have eased in the UK economy.
