Monetary policy in the UK has usually operated through setting the Bank of England's interest rate, the Official Bank Rate, or 'Bank Rate'.
 
This rate is often referred to as the 'Bank of England Base Rate'.

In 2009 the MPC announced that in addition to setting Bank Rate, it would start to inject money directly into the economy by purchasing financial assets – often known as quantitative easing.
