The BOE's Monetary Policy Committee will keep the target for its program of bond purchases known as quantitative easing at 375 billion pounds ($583 billion), according to all but one of 44 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. In the minutes of the April meeting, the majority on the nine-member panel said monetary policy was already "highly stimulatory."
