Bank of England (BoE) news

The Bank of England (BoE) is the central bank of the United Kingdom. Its primary objective is to maintain price stability, targeting a 2% inflation rate. The BoE uses interest rate adjustments and quantitative easing to influence the economy and achieve its inflation target. It also plays a key role in ensuring financial stability in the UK.
