The BoE extended its stimulus programme to �175bn last month
|
The Bank of England's monetary policy committee was unanimous in their decision to keep rates on hold at 0.5% this month. They were also in agreement not to extend further the Bank's programme of pumping money into the economy. But members who in August called for a bigger injection of money than the £50bn decided, said the Bank may still need to extend the programme further. This increased the amount pumped into the economy to £175bn from £125bn. At that meeting in August, three members, including the Bank Governor Mervyn King, had voted for a bigger injection of £75bn. The Bank publishes the minutes of its meetings on monetary policy two weeks after the event.
