Bank of England Is ‘Not Sanguine’ About Inflation Hump, Greene Says

  • Megan Greene, a member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee, indicated on Saturday that UK disinflation is expected to persist despite a short-term increase in consumer price inflation.
  • She attributed the ongoing inflation persistence to factors like recent cost-of-living pressures and warned that inflation growth has proven more persistent than expected.
  • Greene noted private-sector pay growth remains well above levels consistent with the 2% inflation target and highlighted risks of second-round wage-price effects.
  • Last month, she confirmed her decision to support a 0.25 percentage point reduction in interest rates to 4.25%, noting that while they believe the situation can be managed, there remains a significant level of uncertainty.
  • The BoE expects inflation to decline over the medium term, though Greene is not sanguine about avoiding persistent inflation pressures or second-round effects slowing disinflation.
