BoE MPC external member Gertjan Vlieghe reiterate his view that in case of no-deal Brexit, not all paths are equally likely. He said that “in the case of a no-deal scenario I judge that an easing or an extended pause in monetary policy is more likely to be the appropriate policy response than a tightening.”
Also, BoE “will have to judge in real time how well inflation expectations remain anchored, and how households and businesses are reacting to the disruptions.” And “even if the direction and scale of monetary policy changes are unknown beforehand, monetary policy will do what it needs to do to bring inflation back to target within a horizon that is consistent with our mandate.”
