Neil Young, CEO – Young Group, believes that Bank of England’s rate setting committee is prudent in maintaining a degree of stability; “The MPC has previously acted decisively in a bid to stimulate the economy and lending markets. However, it is now quite right to take the time to assess the impact of those measures.
“Despite some positive economic news beginning to filter through, the impact of the MPC’s policy will not be felt overnight, so it comes as no surprise that the MPC has opted to take a ‘wait and see’ approach.
Neil Young concludes, “Bank of England Governor, Mervyn King, should be applauded for the stability that comes from keeping base rate and economic stimuli consistent. A degree of stability from the Prime Minister and his Government at this time would also be welcome…”
