The Bank of England (BoE) left the base rate at 4.5% on March 20, 2025, following a cut in February. This is a conservative approach to mixed economic signs, including easing in January and inflation rising above the 2% BoE target levels. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is trying to reconcile economic growth with inflation management.
Market expectations are that there could be rate cuts further in 2025 if there is a loosening of inflation and economic expansion is maintained to be subdued. There is 77% possibility of a cut at the meeting in May, as per projections. The guidance of the MPC and economic forecast are closely followed by traders.
The decision is likely to influence consumer expenditure and housing via the price of borrowing. The British pound may be subject to volatility as a response to the MPC's policy and general economic uncertainty. The BoE is attempting to steer inflation management alongside promoting economic stability in the context of domestic and international uncertainty.
