  • It is safer to err on the side of easing too much
  • And then tightening later if needed
  • Risks to economy are to the downside
  • But with limited policy space, there is less scope to get the economy back on track
  • Some recovery in economic activity is likely as lockdown eases
  • A relatively slow recovery would be costly
  • Sees risks of UK falling into slip into lowflation trap that is much harder to escape
  • The risks of a pickup in inflation are pretty negligible
  • Picture of a dramatic fall in output is clear-cut
