The Bank of England has left interest rates unchanged at 3.75%, extending the current pause in monetary policy as policymakers continue to balance inflation risks against a weakening economic backdrop.

The decision, which had been widely anticipated by financial markets, marks the fourth consecutive meeting at which the Bank Rate has been held steady. The move means mortgage borrowers, homebuyers and property professionals will see no immediate change to the cost of borrowing.

The Monetary Policy Committee opted to keep rates on hold as inflation remains above the Bank’s 2% target, although recent data has been less severe than many economists feared following heightened geopolitical tensions and concerns over the impact of the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran on global energy prices and economic growth.

For the housing market, the decision provides a degree of stability at a time when transaction levels remain subdued and affordability continues to weigh on buyer activity. Attention will now turn to whether easing inflationary pressures create scope for further rate cuts later this year.
