Not a Strong Case for Easing by BOE: Cambridge Econometrics’s Sentance

The transcript discusses the UK's monetary policy, focusing on interest rates and economic indicators. It highlights the need for a long-term strategy rather than short-term data responses. The discussion includes the potential for interest rate hikes, the role of the new governor, and the importance of a cohesive policy strategy. The current economic situation, including low inflation and unemployment, is analyzed to suggest that cutting interest rates may not be effective.
