BOE's governor Carney: UK economic growth has slowed below its potential
- Global economy risks being trapped in a cycle of low rates, reducing policy space
- MPC members are debating the merits of near-term stimulus
- Limited space to cut bank rate would favour a relatively prompt response if evidence builds that weakness in activity could persist
- Rebound projected in BOE forecast for this year is not assured
- Early indicators since the election suggest that there has been some reduction in Brexit-related and domestic policy uncertainties
- Says that BOE has equivalent of 250 bps of policy space and that QE, forward guidance and rate cuts are all still part of its policy tools
