BOE extends help

THE Bank of England voted to inject more cash into the economy to shore up a fragile recovery and shield the country from fallout from the unresolved eurozone debt crisis.

The BOE yesterday said it would buy another 50 billion pounds (US$79 billion) of assets - mostly government bonds - with freshly printed money, taking the total to 325 billion pounds, as economists had expected. The central bank also left its key interest rate at a record-low 0.5 percent.
