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."
