The Bank's Accountability for Asset Purchases
The Monetary Policy Committee is accountable for its decisions on asset purchases in the same way that it is for its decisions on Bank Rate. Those decisions and the minutes relating to them will be published in the usual way a fortnight after the Committee meets. The Committee will continue to explain its monetary policy decisions through the Inflation Report and in its evidence to the House of Commons' Treasury Committee. The Bank will also publish a quarterly report giving details of the asset purchases that have been undertaken.
