BOE's Mann: Inflation uncertainty strengthens case for front-loading rate rises
|Bank of England (BOE) policymaker Catherine Mann noted on Thursday that they are seeing very high inflation expectations over a one-year horizon in the UK, as reported by Reuters.
"High inflation expectations may feed into inflation today," Mann added. "The uncertainty about inflation process strengthens the case for front-loading interest rate rises."
