General update
The Bank of England has held interest rates at 4%. At its meeting ending on 5 November 2025, the Monetary Policy Committee voted by a majority of 5–4 to maintain Bank Rate at 4%. Four members voted to reduce Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 3.75%. The Bank's decision comes ahead of the government's Budget on 26 November, where speculation has grown that Chancellor Rachel Reeves will raise taxes.
