The Bank of England on Thursday decided to extend the size of its bond purchase program by £150 billion as it warned output would fall in the fourth quarter amid the lockdown that starts in England today.
The Bank of England kept interest rates at 0.1%, and the extension of its quantitative easing program brings the size to £875 billion.
