Massive Interest Rate Cut To 3.0%

The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has met today and made a huge cut in the cost of borrowing by 1.5% from 4.5% down to 3% as it tries to head off the prospect of a deep recession.

The Bank has not cut rates by more than half a percentage point since 1993 and has not cut interest rates to as low as 3% since the 1950’s.

It may not even stop there as we suspect rates cut fall by as much as a further 1% to just 2% next year.

Let us not forget that the US Fed slashed interest rates in the US to just 1% last month.
