Bank of England Hikes Interest Rate

Bank of England Hikes Interest Rate

The Bank of England raised its benchmark interest rate to its highest level since 2009.

Hiking the rate to 0.75% from 0.5%, U.K.’s central bank hinted at inflation concerns. However, uncertainties remain over how smooth or difficult Brexit and its economic/financial outcome would actually turn out to be – something that might affect the pace of further monetary tightening in the nation. The central bank said in a statement on Thursday that "any future increases in Bank Rate are likely to be at a gradual pace and to a limited extent."
