The IEA has been quoted in the Times urging the Bank of England to raise the bank rate.

Referencing the IEA’s recommendations, the article reads: 

“The think tank’s shadow monetary policy committee, a group of independent experts, has voted unanimously to raise the Bank rate.”

“There was also a majority view that the rate should be raised further in the coming months, but a significant minority felt there should be a pause before further rises.”

“The committee has met at least once a quarter at the Institute of Economic Affairs since July 1997, when it was it the first such group in the UK.”
