The Outlook for the UK Economy
with
Silvana Tenreyro
Wednesday 2nd March 2022
In addition to its enormous effects on public health and society, two years of the pandemic have also created challenges for the UK economy. At present, increases in the prices of energy and global goods are leading to higher inflation and falling real wages, putting a strain on families throughout the country. Silvana Tenreyro joined us to discuss the outlook for the UK economy and inflation. She focussed on the trade-offs the economic outlook has created for monetary policymakers, when judging how best to bring inflation back to target.
