Bank of England chief says stimulus still needed
“The (Monetary Policy Committee) faces a difficult challenge in balancing those risks,” King said.
“To do so, we judge that at present it is right to keep our foot firmly on the accelerator in order to stimulate the economy. As you would expect, there is a debate about quite how hard we should be pressing on the accelerator.
“In the months ahead it may be that the MPC judges that the inflation outlook warrants pushing down even harder or that we should ease back somewhat. The debate is about the appropriate degree of stimulus, not about applying the brakes.”
