Bank Rate is the rate paid on reserves held at the Bank of England. The Monetary Policy Committee sets it. SONIA, shown separately, measures actual unsecured overnight sterling transactions.
Read the latest value together with its observation date. The change compares it with the previous observation; when a policy rate is unchanged, the last actual move is shown where available. Percentage points measure the difference between two rates; a percentage change measures that difference relative to the earlier value. The summary statistics describe the history used on this page, not a forecast or a separate official aggregate.
The chart and table present the same series, with the newest table entries first. Range controls filter the chart without changing the data or recalculating the summary statistics. Explore enables zoom and pan. A policy rate, a market benchmark and a retail survey average are different measures; none is a personal loan or deposit offer.
