The decision was widely expected, after the rate-setters clearly signaled an end to an easing cycle at a policy meeting in July.
After a policy meeting in September, the Council suggested loose monetary conditions could be maintained longer than expected in light of the central bankʼs updated projections that put CPI lower than earlier forecast in both 2015 and 2016.
