BOE’s Mann argues for holding rates firmly until more evidence of diminished inflation

  • I see the need for activist policy, rather than gradualist
  • Activist policy means holding bank rate firmly until sufficient evidence of diminished inflation persistence, then can move forcefully
  • I expect elevated volatility in macroeconomic variables over coming years
  • US political developments have not made disorderly trade scenarios less likely and there will be consequences for the UK

The idea of ‘moving forcefully’ — even in the distant future — is surprisingly from Mann, who is an uber-hawk.
