09/02/2012
The Bank of England has agreed to extend its quantitative easing (QE) programme by £50bn to give a further boost to the UK economy.
The Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) also said it would keep interest rates at their record low of 0.5%.
UK interest rates have been held at that level since March 2009.
