Upcoming BoE Monetary Policy
The Bank of England is due to release its Monetary Policy Report and the interest rate decision on February 6. Economists in a majority are predicting a cut of 25 basis points that will bring down the rate to 4.75%, helping economic activity pick up.
The BoE is going to cut growth projections for the UK and is likely to say inflation will peak at 2.8% in the third quarter of 2025, higher than its target of 2%. Committee members are divided over how soon to loosen their policy, with some wanting faster cuts.
Market expectations are of a dovish stance by the BoE in recent times, on account of new challenges such as U.S. trade issues. Most analysts still expect three quarter-point cuts during 2025 and a fair chance of an outright cut on February 6. The growth forecast may remain at around 1%-1.5%, much like the previous year.
