What this value means
Set at the 129th MPC (-150bps, 5-1 vote) and reaffirmed unanimously at the 130th MPC (20 May 2026) after five consecutive cuts totalling 1,400bps as inflation fell from 23.8% (Dec 2024) to 3.4% (Apr 2026). 131st MPC (20-22 July 2026): HELD at 14.0% by unanimous decision - June 2026 headline inflation 5.3%, below the 8±2% band's lower bound; the hold was judged appropriate amid Middle East conflict / oil-price risks. NEXT DECISION: 132nd MPC (23-24 September 2026, announced 24 September): HELD at 14.0% by unanimous decision — August 2026 headline inflation 5.0% (from 4.6% July), still below the lower bound of the 8±2% band. Next: 133rd MPC scheduled 16-18 November 2026, announcement 18 November - re-verify then (an automated re-verification deadline is set for that date). An outside review on 2026-08-07 caught the previous note still anticipating the 131st meeting sixteen days after it happened; every dated expectation in these notes is now checked automatically once its date passes.
