Base rate increased to 1.25%

Base rate increased to 1.25%

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted by a majority of 6-3 to increase the bank rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 1.25%. The members in the minority voted to increase the bank rate by 0.5 percentage points, to 1.5%.

The increase marks the fifth base rate rise since December 2021 after a decade of historic lows.

The MPC minutes say that UK GDP was weaker than expected in April, partly reflecting a further decline in Test and Trace activity.
