Thu, 05th Aug 2021 12:00

LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The Bank of England kept the size
of its bond-buying programme unchanged and held its benchmark
interest rate at a historic low of 0.1% on Thursday.

Economists taking part in a Reuters poll had expected no
policy changes by the BoE, despite a post-lockdown rise in
inflation.
