Highlights from the Bank of England Inflation Report:

  • Sees CPI overshoot if rate reaches 4.5%
  • Energy and import prices will push CPI up sharply
  • Economic uncertainty may lead banks to curb lending
  • Growth risks on the downside, CPI upside
  • CPI may peak at 3.8%
  • CPI will overshoot 2% target in 2 years

BOE Governor King follows:

  • Rebalancing UK economy will be supported by fall in FX rates and cutting CPI to quickly can hurt the economy
  • Economy is on bumpy road
  • Inflation will return to target and growth will recover but needs to be patient
