O Banco de Inglaterra sube a taxa bancaria ata o 0.5%, o gobernador Andrew Bailey insinua restricións salariais
O Banco de Inglaterra (BOE) elevou esta semana a taxa bancaria de referencia do 0.25% ao 0.5% co fin de frear a inflación desenfreada. "Enfrontámonos a un compromiso entre unha forte inflación e un debilitamento do crecemento", dixo á prensa o gobernador do banco central británico Andrew Bailey. Ademais, cando un xornalista da BBC lle preguntou se os membros do BOE estaban instando aos cidadáns británicos a non pedir aumentos salariais, Bailey respondeu: "En xeral, si".
O BOE aumenta as taxas por segunda vez desde o inicio da pandemia de Covid-19, o gobernador do Banco Central británico di que "Necesitamos ver moderación na negociación salarial"
O Banco de Inglaterra ten 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 cuestionado 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 explicado 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:
"Iso é doloroso. Non quero en ningún sentido endulzar esa mensaxe. É doloroso. Pero necesitamos ver iso para superar este problema máis rápido".
Ex-membro do Comité de Política Monetaria do BOE: "Os traballadores do sector público teñen o seu salario conxelado durante unha década"
O profesor de Dartmouth College Danny Blanchflower, antigo membro do Comité de Política Monetaria (MPC) do BOE de 2006 a 2009, dixo en Twitter que o gobernador Andrew Bailey non tiña idea. "Do mesmo xeito que os salarios reais son moi negativos, Clueless Bailey di aos traballadores que é a súa culpa [e] que deben recibir un salario máis baixo aínda que non o fará", Blanchflower. tuiteado. "Os traballadores do sector público teñen o seu salario conxelado durante unha década de goberno Tory que tipo de mundo é este: hora de que os traballadores lle digan que se perda".

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 escribiu. “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.”
