The central bank said future cuts would be gradual amid higher inflation forecasts after the new government introduced spending and tax increases in its budget.

LONDON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The Bank of England cut interest rates on Thursday for only the second time since 2020 and said future reductions were likely to be gradual, seeing higher inflation and growth after the new government's first budget.

The Bank of England is set to cut interest rates for the second time in three months as inflation has fallen to its lowest level in more than three years.
