BoE's Haskel: Misleading to talk of a strong UK recovery
|"It is misleading to talks of a strong recovery in the UK given the very low base for a rebound," Jonathan Haskel, a member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England (BoE), said on Friday.
"If you go down by 25% then you go up by 25% it doesn't take you back to where you started," Haskel said and added that he sees little risk of sustained above-target inflation in the UK.
