Rates held at 0.5% as BoE resists rise to combat inflation

 

 

Good news for borrowers, bad for savers - after much speculation whether interest rates would rise, the Bank of England decided on keeping the historic 0.5 per cent level for another month at least. 

 

Shock data last month showed Britain's economy went into reverse at the end of last year, and headwinds from tax rises and public spending cuts look set to persist for some time.
