QE in the UK Could Net the Treasury £7.75bn per Year


Good news for the Treasury...


The BoE is sitting on almost one quarter of the Gilts bought as a result of the QE programme (Asset Purchase Scheme). This entitles the BoE to around £7.75bn in interest payments.


The BoE retains this money to cover any losses made as a result of QE. However, should it make a profit then this will go to the Treasury - this helps alleviate the strain on the public sector finances.
