英央行維持基準利率於0.5%不變

鉅亨網新聞中心(來源:世華財訊)2011-04-07 19:54:18

英央行7日宣布維持基準利率於0.5%不變,並同時維持2,000億英鎊資產購買規模,央行決
策者認為確保經濟復甦比抑制通脹更加重要。

綜合媒體4月7日報導,英國央行(Bank of England)7日維持基準利率於記錄低點不變,
面對不斷上行的通脹壓力,決策者似乎認為確保經濟復甦更加重要。

英央行貨幣政策委員會(Monetary Policy Committee,MPC)決定連續第26個月維持基準
利率於0.5%不變,同時維持債券購買規於2,000億英鎊(約合3,240億美元)不變,均符合
經濟學家預期。

面對超出設定目標一倍多的通脹,英央行決策者背負的壓力越來越大。儘管在3月的政策
會議上,9位委員中有3位投票支持收緊政策,但多數委員還在靜待更多的證據證明經濟復
甦能夠承受住政府的緊縮計劃。

經濟學家普遍預計,歐洲央行(European Central Bank)將在稍晚時候宣布2008年7月以
來首次上調利率。

大和證券公司(Daiwa Securities)駐倫敦經濟學家Hetal Mehta稱,在局勢還非常交雜的
情況下預期央行會改變觀點為時尚早。盡管央行面臨足夠大的通脹上行壓力,但英國的經
濟復甦仍然非常脆弱。

雖然4月5日的報告顯示英國3月服務業呈現一年多來最快速擴張,但英國統計局6日公布的
數據顯示,製造業活動在2月放緩。同時,加速上升的通脹正在削弱消費者支出。
