Regno Unito Tasso Di Interesse

The Bank of England cut the Bank Rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%, its lowest level since 2022, as easing inflation and growing signs of economic strain prompted policymakers to act. The move marked the first rate cut since August. Five policymakers voted for the cut while four favored holding rates, a less dovish-than-expected split that prompted traders to scale back expectations for further BOE rate cuts. The MPC stated that future policy easing will be guided by developments in the inflation outlook, adding that the degree of policy restrictiveness has diminished. UK inflation slowed to 3.2% in November, the lowest in 8 months and below the BoE’s forecast of 3.4%. At the same time, GDP contracted for a second month in October, while private-sector wage growth continued to cool.
