BoE meeting dates 2027

8 decisions published for 2027 so far.

What the BoE announces, and when

• 12:00 noon UK time: the decision on Bank Rate is published together with the Monetary Policy Summary and the minutes of the meeting.
• The vote split (how many of the nine members voted to raise, hold or cut) is published at the same time and often moves sterling as much as the decision.
• Four times a year the decision comes with the Monetary Policy Report, which includes the Bank’s forecasts, followed by a press conference with the Governor.

UK CPI inflation and the labour market figures from the Office for National Statistics are the key releases before each decision. See them all on the economic calendar, or this week’s schedule on the forex week ahead.

What a BoE decision moves

Rate decisions are among the biggest scheduled events for the GBP. The pairs that usually react most are GBP/USD, EUR/GBP and GBP/JPY. Spreads often widen in the minutes around the announcement and price can move fast in both directions, so many traders check the time in their own zone in advance and decide whether to hold positions through it.

To see the decision on your chart, switch on economic events in TradingView’s chart settings (our TradingView economic calendar guide shows how). To compare how the GBP is moving against the other majors, use the currency strength meter.
