Furthermore, an increase in the program would also complicate the transition to a normal economy which would not be sustained by such measures at a certain point in the future.

The interested rate is kept at 0.5% and the inflation is expected to exceed the present target (2%) in the short run. Summing up, a better outlook of the U.K.’s economy is expected on the long term but, these expectations may change according to the situation in the Euro zone.
