Bank of England Monetary Policy Commissioner Mann: At present, in order to maintain the tight monetary policy stance required to combat persistent inflation, it is appropriate to maintain bank interest rates on a more permanent basis.
Bank of England Monetary Policy Commissioner Mann said: If downside risks to domestic demand start to emerge, I am ready to take strong policy measures to lower bank interest rates more sharply and quickly.
Mann, Bank of England monetary policy commissioner: Monetary policy in the Bank of England's August interest rate path is "not tight enough".
Bank of England Monetary Policy Commissioner Mann: Interest rates need to remain restrictive.
