BOE: Leaves rates, QE stock unchanged in unanimous vote at Sep meet

--Bank Rate unchanged at 0.75%, QE stock unchanged at combined stg445bn

--BOE states the outlook for global growth has weekened

--Monpol response to Brexit 'not automatic' could be 'either direction' 

--Sees inflation slightly below target over coming months

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The BOE voted unanimously to leave rates/QE unch, in line with market 

expectations. The MPC continued to state that an increase in rates at a 

gradual pace and to a limited extent is conditioned on a smooth Brexit 

and assuming some recovery in global growth. Moreover, the MPC noted 

that any policy decision on any Brexit outcome would not be an automatic 

one, and there were scenarios when rates could move in either direction.

The BOE also announced the meeting schedule for 2020, with the Feb 

inflation report due on Jan 30  -- the day before that pencilled in as 

Governor Mark Carney's last day in the job.
