India, July 30 -- The Bank of England maintained its interest rate in a split vote as renewed tensions in the Middle East reignited fears of high inflation becoming persistent.

The Monetary Policy Committee, led by Governor Andrew Bailey, voted 6-3 to hold the bank rate at 3.75 percent, which is the lowest rate since June 2023.

Previously, the central bank had reduced the rate by 25 basis points each in August and November last year.
