Our response to coronavirus (Covid) | Bank of England

We cut our interest rate to 0.1%. At a special Monetary Policy Committee meeting on 19 March 2020, we cut our interest rate (we call it Bank Rate). Bank Rate is the UK’s official interest rate. It is the single most important interest rate in the UK, as it acts as a reference, or ‘base’ rate, for all sorts of other financial products.
