Policy bias & upcoming decisions
The Committee judges that the risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals are roughly in balance. Future adjustments will be data-dependent.
Inflation is on track to sustainably reach the 2% target. The Governing Council is prepared to adjust all its instruments within its mandate.
The MPC voted 8-1 to reduce Bank Rate by 25bps. Services inflation remains above target, warranting a gradual approach to further easing.
With wage and price dynamics improving as anticipated, the Bank raised its policy rate. If the economic outlook realises, the Bank will continue to raise the policy rate.
The PBOC will implement moderately loose monetary policy, maintain ample liquidity, and guide financial institutions to increase credit support for the real economy.
The MPC changed its stance to neutral and reduced the repo rate by 25bps. Inflation has moderated and growth prospects remain favourable.
The Committee will continue the hiking cycle at a pace of 100bps per meeting until the convergence of inflation to around 4.5% by end-2026.
In light of continued low inflation and a strong franc, the SNB is reducing its policy rate. Further reductions cannot be excluded if necessary.

Chair Powell noted core PCE at 2.4% shows progress but the last mile of disinflation is proving slow. Labour market remains solid with unemployment at 4.1%.
The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 0.75% at the January 2026 meeting, the highest level since 2008. Governor Ueda cited sustained wage growth and service sector inflation as justification. The BoJ meets again tomorrow. Markets are pricing a 30% probability of another 25bps hike to 1.0%. JGB yields have risen to 1.2%, a 13-year high.
The US has raised tariffs on Chinese goods to an effective rate of 35%, triggering retaliatory measures. The IMF has warned of a 0.5pp hit to global GDP growth in 2026. Canada and Mexico have secured exemptions under USMCA but face uncertainty. Shipping volumes from Asia to North America are down 12% YoY.

UK Consumer Price Index rose 2.7% YoY in February 2026, above the 2% target but on a declining trend. Services inflation remains stubborn at 4.1%, a key concern for the Bank of England. The MPC meets tomorrow (March 19) and is expected to hold rates at 4.50% following the February cut. Wage growth has moderated to 4.2%, giving some comfort.
The ECB held its deposit facility rate at 2.65% at the March meeting. Eurozone GDP growth slowed to 0.2% in Q4 2025, with Germany in its fourth consecutive quarter of contraction. Inflation at 2.1% gives space to cut but the ECB is cautious about moving ahead of data. The next meeting on April 30 is a "live" meeting according to sources.
Brazil's central bank (BCB) raised the Selic rate to 13.25% citing persistent inflation at 5.1%, well above the 3% target. Fiscal concerns have weakened the BRL, importing inflation. The hiking cycle is expected to peak at 14-14.5% by mid-2026. Brazil's growth has slowed to 2.1% amid tight financial conditions and external headwinds.
Beijing unveiled a RMB 3.5tn ($485bn) infrastructure and domestic consumption stimulus package in March 2026, the largest since 2009.

Property sector remains the key risk — tier-1 home prices are down 18% from peak.
OPEC+ agreed to begin unwinding its 2.2mbpd voluntary cuts starting Q2 2026, as Saudi Arabia seeks to defend market share amid rising non-OPEC supply. Brent crude fell to $72/bbl on the news. Lower oil prices will ease inflation globally but hit Gulf state fiscal positions. The IEA forecasts oil market surplus of 0.8mbpd in 2026.
