This question focuses on the monetary policy decision of the Bank of England (BoE) regarding interest rates in its second meeting of 2024. It asks whether the BoE will keep the interest rate unchanged at 5.25%, a decision that would be significant in the context of the UK's economic outlook and inflationary trends. The interest rate level set by the BoE is a crucial tool for controlling inflation and influencing economic growth. The question implies an understanding of the BoE's previous actions, including an aggressive campaign of 14 rate rises to combat inflation, and seeks to anticipate their next move in the light of current economic conditions. This decision will have broad implications for financial markets, borrowing costs, and overall economic stability in the UK.

Have they not already done that, or have I misunderstood something? Their first meeting seems to have been on 31 January 2024, and it seems like they decided to keep the rate at 5.25%

@FedorShabashev That's okay. It's only Ṁ4 and I would still bet that not no change next time.
