Haldane says UK economy may be close to pre-pandemic production levels

The Chief Economist of the Bank of England (BoE), Andy Haldane has made some upbeat comments on the UK economy Thursday.

Haldane has said that UK economy may be close to pre-pandemic production levels.

Haldane last week triggered a strong move in GBP / USD after he said that the “UK economy is turning ‘bargain hunters'”, adding that “we may need to start turning off the stimulus tap“.

His upbeat comments remain on investors’ minds ahead of next week’s BoE monetary policy meeting, with expectations for an earlier-than-expected rate hike, especially after the US Federal Reserve has turned bullish on Wednesday.
