US EditionUK Interest Rates Predicted to Stay at 4.25 with Bank ‘Nimble’ Amid Uncertainty
- The committee responsible for setting monetary policy in the UK will reveal its latest decision on borrowing costs on Thursday, 19 June 2025, in London.
- The decision follows recent inflation data showing CPI inflation at 3.5% in April, up from 2.6% in March, amid easing wage growth and rising unemployment.
- Since last August, the MPC has gradually lowered borrowing costs through several reductions, bringing the peak rate down from 5.25% to the current level of 4.25%, all while navigating persistent inflation and global economic uncertainties.
- Economists Ellie Henderson and Rob Wood emphasize a cautious approach, stating that one month's data is insufficient to change the MPC's gradual policy and that a nimble central bank response is required.
- Most economists expect the MPC to keep rates at 4.25% for now, with further rate cuts contingent on economic data amid tensions including tariffs and Middle East unrest.
