Julian Jessop quoted in The Times

IEA Economics Fellow Julian Jessop has been quoted in The Times responding to the Bank of England’s decision to hold interest rates at 5.25%. He did, however, note that the Bank is warming to cutting rates, possibly as soon as this summer.

Julian said:

The Bank has been too slow to cut rates. The big picture is still that monetary policy is too tight. Nonetheless, the shift in tone today is important.”
