Episode Synopsis

In June 2025, the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-3 to hold the Bank Rate steady at 4.25%—a decision shaped by disinflation progress, a softening labour market, and global economic uncertainty.In this episode, we break down the MPC’s rationale, the balancing act between inflation control and weak GDP growth, and what it all means for households, businesses, and markets. Plus, we explore how international trade dynamics, financial indicators, and supply-side pressures are influencing monetary policy in real time.
