BoE’s Forbes dissents as inflation looms
MPC member votes for 25bp hike as inflation looks set to exceed target until “at least” 2020
One member of the Bank of England’s (BoE) monetary policy committee (MPC) voted for a 25bp hike in interest rates today (March 16), citing concerns that inflation was “rising quickly” and likely to remain above target for “at least” three years.
