UK keep interest rates at 0.5%

[Andrew Williams]

The Bank of England have again announced that they will hold interest rates at 0.5%.

I think that as long as the UK keep holding the rate at these low levels it will be a long time before sterling starts to get back to anywhere near normal levels against the Aussie (unless of course something major happens to the Australian economy!!).
