Bailey speech: Bringing inflation down to 2% will be hard work
In an interview with Chroniclelive on Monday, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey said that “bringing inflation down to 2% will be hard work.”
“A lot of inflation's recent decline is due to the unwinding of energy cost surge,” Bailey added.
Additional comments
It's too early to have discussion about cutting rates.
It does concern me that the supply side of the economy has slowed.
Market reaction
GBP/USD maintains its position near two-month highs of 1.2628 on Bailey’s comments. The pair is up 0.15% on the day.
