继8月份降息25个基点后，英格兰银行在2024年9月的会议上将银行利率保持在5%不变，这是四年多来的首次降息。这一决定符合市场预期，尽管一位成员赞成进一步降息0.25个百分点至4.75%。8月份的年度通货膨胀率为2.2%，预计到今年年底将上升至2.5%左右，因为去年能源价格的下降超出了年度比较。8月份服务业消费者价格通胀率仍高达5.6%。截至7月的三个月里，私营部门的常规平均周收入增长率降至4.9%。与此同时，预计下半年整体GDP增长将恢复到每季度0.3%左右的基本速度。此外，委员会一致同意在未来12个月内将其英国政府债券存量减少1000亿英镑，使总额达到5580亿英镑。

The Bank of England kept the Bank Rate unchanged at 5% during its September 2024 meeting, following a 25 bps cut in August, the first reduction in over four years. This decision met market expectations, though one member favored a further 0.25 percentage points cut to 4.75%. The annual inflation was 2.2% in August, and is expected to increase to around 2½% towards the end of this year as declines in energy prices last year fall out of the annual comparison. Services consumer price inflation remained elevated at 5.6% in August. Private sector regular average weekly earnings growth declined to 4.9% in the three months to July. Meanwhile, headline GDP growth is expected to return to its underlying pace of around 0.3% per quarter in the second half of the year. Additionally, the Committee unanimously agreed to reduce its stock of UK government bonds by £100 billion over the next 12 months, bringing the total to £558 billion.
