The BOE Tenreyro is speaking and says
- My vote to leave bank rate unchanged at my final policy meeting rested on what the latest data implied about the medium term.
- Forward-looking indicators had pointed towards falls in both pay growth and core-goods inflation over the rest of the year.
- Data could be consistent with a slightly slower decline in domestic inflationary pressures.
- Tightening already in the pipeline would be sufficient to bring inflation back to, and most likely below, the target.
- Sharp increase in interest rates at longer horizons more than sufficient to offset the recent data news.
- Advantages of MPC members publishing their own views on future policy outweigh the potential costs.
