What is it? Listed as a 'Tentative' event because a statement is usually only issued if the Official Bank Rate or Asset Purchase Facility changes (except under extreme conditions). If a statement is not issued this event will be removed from the calendar immediately following the rate release. If issued, the tentative mark will be discarded. It's among the primary tools the MPC uses to communicate with investors about monetary policy. It contains the outcome of their vote on interest rates and other policy measures, along with commentary about the economic conditions that influenced their votes. Most importantly, it discusses the economic outlook and offers clues on the outcome of future votes.
When? Tentative
Trading Tip: If the announcement will hint towards higher interest rates, you can expect the GBP to rise.
