BoE’s Mann: I would rather err on the side of over-tightening

Catherine Mann, member of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee, said on Monday that overtightening is easier to fix than not moving interest rates. She added that underestimating the persistence of inflation will lead to overshoot. Mann delivered a speech at the Canadian Association for Business Economics. She explained that the idea that 3% inflation is close enough can not be the guide for the BoE.

What is the BOE?

Founded in 1694, the Bank of England (BoE) is the central bank of the United Kingdom. Sometimes known as the ‘Old Lady’ of Threadneedle Street, the Bank’s mission is "to promote the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability".

The Bank of England is responsible for keeping the UK’s economy on the right track. They operate monetary policy by moving Bank Rate up and down and, in certain circumstances, we also supplement this with measures such as quantitative easing.
