The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted by a slim 5-4 majority to cut the Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4.0%. The decision reflects the substantial disinflation achieved over the past two years and an economy showing subdued growth and emerging slack.

Looking ahead, the MPC signaled a "gradual and careful" approach to any further policy easing. The timing and pace of future rate reductions are not on a pre-set path and will depend on incoming data confirming that underlying inflationary pressures continue to ease.
