Bank of England's Mann: Underlying UK inflation dynamic looks pretty robust
|Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann said on Thursday that the underlying UK inflation dynamic looks pretty robust.
''Households and firms see 4% inflation in the years ahead''.
"You have a lot of different ways of looking at it. My reading is we're not there yet," Mann said in a question and answer session after giving a lecture at Alliance Manchester Business School.
It is worth noting that Mann voted for a bigger increase to 3.75% in December.
