LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England will delay the announcement of its latest interest rate decision by two minutes on Thursday, publishing the decision at 1102 GMT rather than 1100 GMT, the bank said on Tuesday.
The slightly later timing of the release is due to a national two-minute silence being held to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
The latest central bank's quarterly economic forecasts and minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee's interest rate discussion will also be released two minutes later at 1102 GMT.
