What this figure measures
The 10-year gilt yield is the annual return investors require to lend to the UK Government for ten years. The Bank of England estimates it each day from the prices of gilts traded in the market, fitting a smooth yield curve across all maturities. The figure shown is the 10-year point on the nominal zero-coupon curve, which assumes a single payment at the end, so it can differ slightly from yields quoted for individual bonds by market data providers. When gilt prices fall, yields rise.
