Bank of England Menaikkan Kadar Bank kepada 0.5%, Gabenor Andrew Bailey Membayangkan Sekatan Gaji
Bank of England (BOE) menaikkan kadar penanda aras bank negara daripada 0.25% kepada 0.5% minggu ini untuk mengekang inflasi yang berleluasa. "Kami menghadapi pertukaran antara inflasi yang kukuh dan pertumbuhan yang lemah," kata gabenor bank pusat Britain Andrew Bailey kepada akhbar. Tambahan pula, apabila ditanya oleh seorang wartawan BBC jika ahli BOE menggesa warga Britain supaya tidak meminta kenaikan gaji, Bailey menjawab: "Secara umum, ya."
BOE Naikkan Kadar Buat Kali Kedua Sejak Bermulanya Pandemik Covid-19, Gabenor Bank Pusat Britain Berkata 'Kita Perlu Melihat Kekangan dalam Perundingan Gaji'
Bank of England mempunyai 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 mempersoalkan 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 menjelaskan 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:
“Itu menyakitkan. Saya tidak mahu dalam apa-apa makna gula mesej itu. Ia menyakitkan. Tetapi kita perlu melihatnya untuk mengatasi masalah ini dengan lebih cepat.”
Bekas Ahli Jawatankuasa Dasar Monetari BOE: 'Pekerja Sektor Awam Dibekukan Gaji Selama Sedekad'
Profesor Kolej Dartmouth Danny Blanchflower, bekas ahli Jawatankuasa Dasar Monetari (MPC) BOE dari 2006 hingga 2009, berkata di Twitter bahawa gabenor Andrew Bailey tidak tahu apa-apa. "Sama seperti gaji sebenar menjadi sangat negatif Clueless Bailey memberitahu pekerja itu adalah kesalahan mereka [dan] perlu mendapat gaji yang lebih rendah walaupun dia tidak akan melakukannya," Blanchflower tweeted. "Pekerja sektor awam telah dibekukan gaji mereka selama sedekad Tory memerintah dunia seperti apa ini - masa untuk pekerja memberitahunya untuk tersesat."

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 menulis. “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.”
