BoE MPC member Mann says wage and price inflation are sticky downwards

Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Catherine Mann is giving a talk in Dallas on inflation dynamics.

  • says wage and price inflation are sticky downwards
  • going forward the length of time inflation remains above target will be important given that inflation expectations tend to drift
  • possible drift in expectations implies that policy has to be more aggressive

Dunno about you but I am reading these comments and classifying them ‘as clear as mud’.
