Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the Bank of England slashed its main interest rate to 0.1 percent and decided to pump £200 billion ($244 billion, 226 billion euros) into the UK economy to get retail banks lending to fragile businesses.
Two members of the nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee, but not Bailey, voted at the latest meeting to increase the stimulus by a further £100 billion.
"Without further monetary stimulus, there could be greater scarring effects on the economy via both demand and supply channels," argued Jonathan Haskel and Michael Saunders, according to minutes of the gathering that took place Wednesday.
