Citi: The price of the pound would fall before the meeting of the Bank of England, and after it

According to the forecasts of economists of the bank, on Thursday the Bank of England will lower its key interest rate to 0.25% and will resume its program of buying assets in which over the next four months in the financial system will be infused £75 billion.

Acoording to analysts, forecasts for the economy and inflation of the country will likely to be reduced.

Market expectations for expansion of incentives were formed during the week, so for the Bank of England will be difficult to maintain the status quo, which is negative for the pound, say analysts.

The bank remains bearish about sterling and believes, that the decline in interest rates and the resumption of quantitative easing program would become a longterm signal.

Given the above, analysts of the bank see major prerequisites for decline in the pound before the meeting of the Bank of England and after it.
