Bank of England Base Rate
The Bank of England base rate (also called the bank rate) is the interest rate set by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), typically reviewed every six weeks.. It directly influences tracker mortgage rates and indirectly affects fixed rates through swap rates. Changes to the base rate affect millions of UK mortgage holders.
