Inflation in the euro area is falling and the economy is rapidly weakening. Against that background, the ECB kept rates on hold at its policy meeting today.
The Bank of England (BoE) kept its Bank Rate on hold at 5.25% today. The UK’s economic backdrop is weak, so we believe that the BoE will keep interest rates at this level for the near future.
