BoE's decision to hold rates at 4.00 pct wins manufacturers some respite - TUC
Thursday, April 8, 2004 12:34:43 PM

LONDON (AFX) - The Bank of England's decision to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.00 pct has given hard-pressed manufacturers some much-needed respite, according to the Trades Union Congress

The TUC's general secretary Brendan Barber said the Bank's decision will be "a confidence boost" to a manufacturing sector still struggling to recover. "The Bank was right to ignore the herd instinct of the city urging a higher rate," he said

Figures earlier this week suggested the manufacturing sector is still in the doldrums despite the pick-up in world trade

The office of National Statistics said manufacturing output in February slumped 0.6 pct against expectations of a healthy rise.
