Bank of England’s Haskel not worried by inflation By Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) – Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Jonathan Haskel said on Wednesday that he was not too concerned about the medium-term inflation outlook in Britain.

“I am not that worried about inflation,” Haskel said during an online panel discussion hosted by the Tuck School of Business, part of Dartmouth College in the United States.

Haskel said there were likely to be short-term price pressures from supply chain difficulties as the economy rebounded after the pandemic, and that he would be looking to see if scarring from the crisis led to longer-term supply difficulties.
