Bank of England Holds Interest Rate at 3.75% Amid Inflation and Geopolitical Concerns
The Bank of England kept its key interest rate steady at 3.75% for the fifth time this year, with a 6-3 vote reflecting caution amid inflation concerns. While UK inflation eased to 2.6% in June, policymakers warned that rising energy prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly the Middle East conflict, could reignite inflation. Three members favored a 0.25% hike due to these risks, but the majority adopted a wait-and-see approach, noting domestic conditions currently ease inflationary pressures.
