This outcome resolves to Yes if the Decision Value is higher than the Prior Value under the parent question's rules. This market has three possible results: No change, Decrease, or Increase. Exactly one corresponding named outcome resolves to Yes; the other two and the protocol-created fallback resolve to No.
It covers the September 2026 Bank of England decision concerning Bank Rate, scheduled for 2026-09-17 11:00 UTC UTC (the "Decision"). The Decision Value is the numeric value of Bank Rate announced by bankofengland.co.uk. The Prior Value is the value of that same measure in effect immediately before the Decision.
No change resolves to Yes if the Decision Value equals the Prior Value. Decrease resolves to Yes if the Decision Value is lower. Increase resolves to Yes if the Decision Value is higher. If the Decision is rescheduled, the rescheduled decision applies if bankofengland.co.uk publishes it by 2026-09-24 12:00 UTC UTC.
If the Decision is canceled or postponed without a replacement decision, or no official Decision Value is published by 2026-09-24 12:00 UTC UTC, No change resolves to Yes. Policy changes outside the scheduled Decision are ignored except when establishing the Prior Value.
If Bank of England replaces Bank Rate, the closest official successor measure identified by bankofengland.co.uk is used. Resolution uses the initially published decision; later revisions do not change the resolution. bankofengland.co.uk is the primary resolution source; independent reputable reporting may be used if it has not published the relevant decision.
