The Bank of England outlined three possible economic scenarios for the UK economy after keeping its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.75%. Its central projections point to inflation easing below the 2% target over the medium term while economic growth gradually strengthens, Reuters reported.
According to Reuters, the central bank's Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-3 to leave rates on hold on Thursday, while the forecasts incorporate financial market expectations that imply a high probability of two interest rate hikes by the third quarter of 2027.
