The Bank of England has voted to keep interest rates unchanged, but showed what was perhaps the clearest sign in years that cuts could come in the months ahead.
Bank governor Andrew Bailey said the economy is ānot yet at the pointā where rates can be lowered, but things are āmoving in the right directionā.
For the first time since September 2021, no-one on the nine-person decision-making body that sets interest rates voted for an increase.
