BoE's Ramsden: Markets pricing in around 20% chance of a no-deal Brexit
|Bank of England (BoE) Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden reiterated on Tuesday that the BoE is not about to implement negative rates anytime soon, as reported by Reuters.
While responding to a question about possible market reaction to Brexit, "at the moment, markets are probably pricing in about a 20%, maybe 20-30% chance of no-deal, so you might get some market disruption," Ramsden said.
