Monetary Policy Committee - How To Discuss

Monetary Policy Committee

For almost the first time as Chancellor, Gordon Brown set up a Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England to set interest rates.

Previously, this was decided between the chancellor and the bank manager.

The government no longer has control over interest rates, but continues to set inflation targets, and the Bank of England must then set interest rates at a level consistent with the achievement of the target.

The MPC consists of nine members, the Governor of the Bank of England, the Deputy Governor and the Second Deputy Governor, as well as six other members, including two from the Bank, who are responsible for monetary policy and market operations.

The other four members are recognized external experts.

The committee meets monthly and discusses and votes on whether or not to lower, raise or leave the interest rate as it is. The minutes of the meetings are published below.
