Bank of England policymaker Vlieghe: It appears downside risks are starting to materialise

  • Not yet at a point where we can reach a conclusion on negative rates

  • There is a risk that negative rates end up being counterproductive

  • Outlook for monetary policy is skewed towards adding further stimulus

  • QE is probably less potent now than in March

  • Risks are skewed towards even larger job losses

  • Difficult to see a scenario where all furlough workers are reintegrated seamlessly

  • The speed of the recovery is likely to be slower while the virus remains a concern
