(MPC).
Monetary policy is central government or other policy designed to stimulate or otherwise affect economic activity by influencing money supply or interest rates.
Responsibility for setting UK monetary policy - to achieve monetary stability - lies with the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).
A primary objective of the MPC is to meet the UK government's inflation target of 2%.
The MPC normally meets eight times a year to set and announce the Official Bank Rate for the UK.
Additional special meetings are held when appropriate.
