BoE Vote To Hold Interest Rate At 0.5%
The UK's interest rate will be held at 0.5%, following a vote by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), remaining unchanged since 2009.
The group also voted to leave unchanged the £375 billion in monetary stimulus, which the bank provides through its quantitative easing (QE) programme.
The vote follows a statement last months by Bank of England governor Mark Carney, who said that the bank would not consider raising the interest rate until the UK's unemployment rate fell below 7%.
