The Bank of England meets for its first rate decision of 2025 against a backdrop of softening activity data, but also amid signs that inflation is still too-hot-for-comfort. Which way will the Monetary Policy Committee fall at its February meeting? How could domestic and global political shifts affect the Bank’s strategy? Why do we still think that Bank Rate could be cut by more than most expect?
Join economists from our UK macro and markets teams for an online briefing shortly after the release of the Bank’s latest policy communications for answers to all these questions and more.
During this 20-minute session, the team will be outlining their non-consensus views on UK rates as they answer your questions and address key issues, including:
- Why we think the UK economy will grow faster than most expect this year;
- How our inflation forecasts feed our view that Bank Rate will be cut to 3.5% by early next year;
- The financial markets implications of further BoE policy easing.
