The committee’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged at 4% came despite the US Federal Reserve’s decision to cut its rate by a half percentage point.
The Forum of Private Business said it was ‘slightly’ disappointed at the decision.
‘We are slightly disappointed at this decision as a small cut would have been welcomed by our members,’ said Nick Goulding, FPB chief executive.
‘However, the unchanged rate does help to maintain a stable economy which is the key to the national and regional pursuit of economic competitiveness which will ensure British small businesses continue to be “world class” enterprises.’
