Bank voted 7-2 to freeze UK rates The Bank of England's rate-setting body voted
7-2 to keep UK interest rates on hold at 5.25% in February, minutes from its
meeting have shown. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) said more time
was needed to see the impact of January's shock rise. Some analysts say the
vote is likely to reinforce market belief that UK interest rates will climb
further. UK inflation fell in January, but is still well above the government's
target of 2%. The Bank of England has increased interest rates on three
occasions since last summer, by one quarter of a percentage point each time, in
August, November and January. And the minutes said that another rate rise too
soon "might lead to excessive tightening". "There was time to observe the
impact of past decisions and to see whether any of the upside or downside risks
were crystallising," it said. 'Wait and see' Last week, the Bank hinted in its
latest inflation report that interest rates might need to be increased once
more to keep inflation in check. Consumer price inflation is currently at 2.7%
and would continue to exceed the 2% target if rates stayed at 5.25%, the Bank
said. The two members of the MPC who voted in favour of a further rate rise -
Tim Besley and Andrew Sentance - said the rate increases since August were
"modest relative to the rise in inflation and the prospective robust outlook
for demand". Investec analyst Philip Shaw said that that the two votes in
favour of a further increase suggested "momentum" for more rate tightening and
tipped a further quarter-point rise. But he added: "The majority opinion
appears to be that there is time to wait and see." HBOS Treasury Services
analyst Adam Chester said the sentiment from the minutes suggested the MPC was
"not biting at the bit to raise rates again". "The minutes convey the idea that
the majority of the MPC still feels it's appropriate to delay further
tightening as they await further evidence in the economic data," he said.
