The Bank of England raised interest rates for the first time in more than 10 years yesterday and said it expected only “very gradual” further increases over the next three years.
The BOE said its nine rate-setters voted 7-2 to increase its benchmark Bank Rate to 0.50 percent from 0.25 percent Air Max 2017 Sale Online , reversing the emergency cut made in August 2016, shortly after the shock decision by British voters to leave the European Union.
It was the first time that the BOE increased borrowing costs since 2007, before the eruption of the global financial crisis, which tipped Britain into its deepest recession in decades.
However, the pound fell around a cent against the US dollar and government bond yields dropped by 5 basis points as markets homed in on the BOE’s cautious approach to future rate rises. The BOE did not repeat previous language about markets underestimating the extent of future rises.
BOE Governor Mark Carney said the sheer novelty of a first rate hike created some uncertainty about its impact on the economy Air Max 2018 Sale Online , but there was no reason to expect it to be larger than normal.
Domestic inflation pressures were likely to build, he said.
“It isn’t so much where inflation is now but where it is going that concerns us,” Carney said in a speech following the decision.
But he added that even after yesterday’s rate increase, monetary policy will provide significant support to jobs and activity.
The two Monetary Policy Committee members who voted to keep rates steady, deputy governors Jon Cunliffe and Dave Ramsden Air Max 90 Sale Online , shared the widespread view among economists outside the BOE that wage growth is too weak to justify a rate rise now.
But most MPC members, including Carney, decided it was time to start to tighten policy, despite the British economy’s sluggish performance this year.
“The MPC now judges it appropriate to tighten modestly the stance of monetary policy in order to return inflation sustainably to target,” the BOE said in a statement.
“All members agree that any future increases in Bank Rate will be at a gradual pace and to a limited extent Air Max Sale Online ,” it said, repeating its previous signals on what is likely to happen to borrowing costs.
The BOE said debt servicing costs paid by British households and companies would remain “historically very low” despite yesterday’s hike.
At its previous meeting in September, the MPC had voted 7-2 in favor of keeping rates on hold. But it warned then that rates could rise “over the coming months.”
Economists polled by Reuters had overwhelmingly predicted a hike at November’s meeting, although nearly three-quarters of them thought it was too soon to make such a move, given the deep uncertainties about Brexit and weak wage growth.
“They’ve erred on the dovish side as far as the comments are concerned Nike Air Max 2017 Mens Sale ,” Craig Erlam, an analyst with brokerage OANDA, said. “We have to wait for the press conference but there’s nothing in the initial comments that suggest we should expect another rate hike in the next 12 months.”
But George Buckley, an economist with Nomura, said there was still a chance that the BOE would raise rates more quickly than markets expect because it saw inflation slightly above its 2 percent target over the next three years.
“They removed the comments about the need for rates to rise more quickly than the markets have been pricing in. But the sentiment is still there Nike Air Max 2018 Mens Sale ,” Buckley said.
The split on the MPC reflects the dilemma facing the central bank.
On the one hand, Britain’s economy has grown only slowly this year as a jump in inflation caused by the slump in the value of the pound after the Brexit vote pinched spending by consumers. Also, companies are offering sub-inflation pay increases to their staff.
The BOE said the decision to leave the EU was already having a “noticeable impact” on the economic outlook.
But it downgraded its estimate of how fast the economy could grow without generating excess inflation, justifying its decision to raise rates.
Consumer price inflation hit a five-year high of 3 percent in September — mostly due to the fall in the value of the pound — and the BOE said it expected it to peak at 3.2 percent in October. The lowest unemployment rate since the 1970s and an expected improvement in lackluster productivity growth suggested pay growth was about to rise, the BOE added.
PYONGYANG Nike Air Max 90 Mens Sale , Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Tuesday that its strategic and tactical weapons are ready to be used for preemptive strikes on South Korea and the United States even if any "small movements" were found among U.S.-S.Korean special forces, the official KCNA news agency said Tuesday.
The first target of the attacks would be Chongwadae, South Korea's presidential office, as well as South Korean authorities, said the KCNA Nike Air Max Mens Sale , citing a statement issued by the supreme command of the Korean People's Army (KPA).
If the U.S.-S.Korean armed forces continued to make military provocations despite warnings from the DPRK, the KPA would enter the phase of its second round of attacks, which would target U.S. bases in the Asia-Pacific and even U.S. territories, the statement warned.
The DPRK is accusing the United States and South Korea of attempting to bring about a "collapse of the DPRK social system," read the statement.
The U.S.-South Korea OPLAN 5015 war plan reportedly includes preemptive strikes on the DPRK and plans to remove the DPRK's weapons of mass destruction.
The "beheading operation Air Max 2017 Mens Sale ," which targets the "supreme headquarters of the DPRK," means a preemptive strike for "removing in advance the one empowered with the mandate of order" to deter the "use" of the DPRK's nuclear and strategic weapons, the statement said.
