Bank of England delivers 'dovish hold' as growth stalls, trade risks rise
The Bank of England maintained its key interest rate at 4.75% in a 6–3 split vote, as inflation pressures persist and growth falters. Inflation rose to 2.6% in November, but growth is now forecast at 0% for the fourth quarter. Markets interpreted the decision as dovish.
