BOE May Bear Temporary Above-Target Inflation to Support UK, Bailey Says (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
The Bank of England could temporarily tolerate inflation staying above its 2% target in order to support the UK's weak economy, Governor Andrew Bailey said, so long as second-round price effects do not emerge. “Given the context of softness in the real economy and uncertainty around the scale and duration of the shock, tolerating temporarily above-target inflation to provide some support for the real economy is an appropriate way to approach the trade-off,” Bailey said at an economic conference in Reykjavík, Iceland.

A "Rubbish, Knee-Jerk Reaction": UK Treasury Pushes Food Price Caps As Inflation Re-Accelerates
UK supermarkets are being urged by the government to limit food prices in return for easing regulations.
As first reported by The Financial Times, the price caps are 'voluntary' and would apply to key groceries – such as eggs, bread, and milk - according to retail industry sources with knowledge of the plans.
In return, the government has said it would offer “incentives” to the supermarkets, which the people said could include easing packaging policies and potentially delaying costly changes to rules around healthy food.
As one may well expect, supermarkets are understood to be strongly opposed to the plans.
The Treasury has declined to comment.
The proposals come as Sir Keir Starmer's government is battling to address public concern over the cost of living.
Scottish retailers recently condemned a similar policy by the Scottish National Party as a “1970s-style” gimmick.

UK inflation eases more than expected to 2.8%, led by lower electricity and gas bills – business live (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Food inflation also slows, to 3%Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy.It's inflation day! (and Nvidia day)There was a notable fall in annual inflation led by lower electricity and gas prices. This was due to the government's energy bill support package reducing variable and fixed tariffs, along with lower global wholesale energy prices before the conflict in the Middle East, which fed through to the reduction in the Ofgem cap.The war in Iran is not our war but one we will need to respond to, and the decisions I took in the budget last year have kept inflation down as we deal with global instability. We have the right economic plan, and to change course now would risk our economic stability and leave working people worse off.We have already taken £117 off energy bills, frozen rail fares, and lifted the two-child limit, and over today and tomorrow I'll set out the next phase of how we will support UK households.For too long, vital infr...
