BOE Looks to Unwind £833 Billion Stimulus

The Bank of England (BOE) is set to become the first major central bank to sell off assets accumulated during a 13-year stimulus program. This move is a test case for how markets can transition away from easy money policies. The BOE's actions are significant globally, as they navigate uncharted territory for central banks. The BOE aims to restore interest rates as an active tool and prepare for future crises. However, uncertainties remain, particularly regarding long-term bond sales. The Treasury is also involved, covering losses from the BOE's asset sales, highlighting the fiscal implications of such decisions.
