We face double-sided risks in the economic outlook – Huw Pill

In a CNBC interview on Friday, the Chief Economist of the Bank of England (BoE), Huw Pillhe said: “The key message we hoped to convey yesterday is that we face double-sided risks to the economic outlook.”

Featured Statements

Inflation rising to 10% and then falling is due to international energy and goods prices being major factors.

We do not have a target on the exchange rate.

We are not focused on short-term reactions in the markets.

There is an obvious risk of side effects.

The arguments about balancing risks with rates are fairly well balanced.

Monetary policy cannot offer a quick fix overnight.

We would like to see more evidence of inflation expectations and wage and price fixing, and a boost in the economy more consistent with the objective. If we do not see it, it will be necessary to take action.
