|Bank of England (BOE) policymaker Catherine Mann said on Thursday that price and wage dynamics in the UK were not consistent with the 2% inflation target but noted that they were not observing a wage-price spiral, as reported by Reuters.
"The BOE has communicated effectively that rates need to rise and that market expectations before the November meeting were too high," Mann added.
