The Bank of England has decided to hold interest rates at 0.1%

U.S. unit labor costs surged in the third quarter, increasing at an 8.3% annualized rate last quarter, while productivity declined at its sharpest pace since 1981, adding to signs that high inflation could last for a while.

“Many of the causes of inflation would not be tackled directly by raising interest rates.” Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey says rates were not increased from 0.1% as it would ‘slow down the economy’ and “probably cause unemployment to rise”.

The Bank of England kept interest rates on hold, dashing investors’ expectations for a hike that would have made it the first of the world’s big central banks to raise borrowing costs after the pandemic.
