Bank of England povećava kamatnu stopu na 0.5%, guverner Andrew Bailey nagovještava ograničenja plata
Banka Engleske (BOE) podigla je referentnu bankarsku stopu u zemlji sa 0.25% na 0.5% ove sedmice kako bi obuzdala divljajuću inflaciju. "Suočavamo se s kompromisom između jake inflacije i slabljenja rasta", rekao je novinarima guverner britanske centralne banke Andrew Bailey. Nadalje, na pitanje novinara BBC-ja da li članovi BOE pozivaju britanske građane da ne traže povećanje plata, Bailey je odgovorio: "Uopšteno govoreći, da."
BOE podiže stope po drugi put od početka pandemije Covid-19, guverner britanske centralne banke kaže 'Moramo vidjeti suzdržanost u pregovaranju o plaćama'
The Bank of England has raised the benchmark interest rate again after raising the rate back in December. BOE was the first major central bank to raise rates after the pandemic and on Thursday, the rate was bumped again from 0.25% to 0.5%. The British central bank’s move follows hawkish statements stemming from the U.S. Federal Reserve when it said it would raise rates “soon.” Fed chairman Jerome Powell signaled that the rates would likely be increased in mid-March 2022.
Following the BOE’s Monetary Policy Committee meeting, the bank disclosed that four out of the nine committee members wanted to bump the rate to 0.75%. However, the majority of committee members, including governor Andrew Bailey, voted to increase the benchmark rate to 0.5% instead. After the increase, the British pound tapped a two-year high against the euro, and British government bonds were sold off during the afternoon trading sessions on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the central bank of England envisions inflation peaking in April to 7.25% even with the recent bank rate increase. Moreover, Bailey told the press that the public should not expect a marathon of benchmark rate increases. “We face a trade-off between strong inflation and weakening growth,” Bailey stressed to reporters. While explaining that the rate hikes would not continue for an extended period of time, Bailey was upitan about the British working class by a BBC reporter.
“We are looking to see quite clear restraint in the bargaining process because otherwise, it will get out of control,” Bailey objašnjeno in an interview on BBC Radio 4. “I’m not saying nobody gets a pay rise, don’t get me wrong, but I think, what I’m saying is, we do need to see restraint in pay bargaining.” The BBC reporter then asked the BOE governor if the British working class should stop demanding higher wages and Baily responded: “broadly, yes.” Bailey’s remarks continued when he said:
“To je bolno. Ne želim ni u kom smislu da zašećerim tu poruku. To je bolno. Ali to moramo vidjeti kako bismo brže prošli kroz ovaj problem.”
Bivši član Odbora za monetarnu politiku BOE: 'Radnicima u javnom sektoru su zamrznute plate deceniju'
Profesor Dartmouth Collegea Danny Blanchflower, bivši član Odbora za monetarnu politiku (MPC) BOE od 2006. do 2009. godine, rekao je na Tviteru da guverner Andrew Bailey nije znao. „Kao što stvarne plate postaju jako negativne Clueless Bailey kaže radnicima da su oni krivi [i] da moraju dobiti nižu platu iako on to neće,“ Blanchflower tweeted. “Radnicima u javnom sektoru su zamrznute plate za deceniju vladavine Torijeva kakav je ovo svijet – vrijeme je da mu radnici kažu da se izgubi.”

Markets.com analyst Neil Wilson also criticized Bailey’s statements about not asking for wage increases. “The governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, says we can do our bit to help to battle rising inflation by not asking for wage increases,” Wilson napisao. “Coming from someone who’s been sleeping at the controls for the last 18 months, that is not exactly helpful. How about doing your job? By which I mean getting a grip on inflation before it sets in – which would have been to gently tighten last summer. Too bad that moment was lost.”
Šta mislite o podizanju referentne kamatne stope BOE? Šta mislite o tome da Andrew Bailey preporučuje britanskoj radničkoj klasi da prestane tražiti veće plate? Recite nam šta mislite o ovoj temi u odeljku za komentare ispod.
