The Bank of England decided to take a wait-and-see approach during its June monetary policy meeting. Central Bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.1% and the bond-buying programme at £895 billion as widely expected. Policymakers expect that inflation rise will be transitory. GDP in 2021 for Q2 was revised up by about 1.5%. Central bank does not want to undermine the recovery by premature tightening. Asset purchase programme to be kept under review. Only Haldane looking at tapering bond purchases.
