Rates held at record low and no more money pumped into the economy for now.
The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has voted to keep interest rates on hold at their record low of 0.5% for the 35th consecutive month.
As widely predicted, the MPC also held fire on more quantitative easing. The continued uncertainty surrounding both the UK and world economies will have been at the forefront of the committee members' minds.
Many experts believe the Bank is also waiting for its own inflation report and to see the results of the last round of money printing before considering rolling out any more quantitative easing.
Most forecasts say interest rates will remain on hold for the whole of this year.
