Key Quotes
“We expect the unity that has so far prevailed under Mark Carney’s governorship to have continued with broad consensus about the ‘revised’ forward guidance BOE recently presented in its inflation report.”
“In the new guidance the link between a future interest rate decision and the development in the unemployment rate has been weakened. Hence, the UK unemployment rate released today has become less important, although it is possible that unemployment dropped to the 7.0% threshold in the former forward guidance.”
