From bankofengland.co.uk|Jun 26, 2013|8 commentsFor much of the period since the previous Report, prices of risky assets rose and balance sheets across the financial system strengthened.

My Lord Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen: Chancellor: thank you for those generous words.

He said the arguments for restructuring RBS "sooner rather than later are powerful ones". Sir Mervyn said: "The whole idea of a bank being 82%-owned by the taxpayer, run at arms' length ...

The message from the Bank of England was crystal clear: having declined to take action to bring inflation back to its 2% target for the past four years, Threadneedle Street has no intention of changing course now. Policy will remain unchanged, or even become a little looser, even though the Bank estimates it will be 2015 before the annual increase in the cost of living is back on track. In the past, such a forecast would have been enough to prompt a tightening of policy. The Bank's monetary policy committee would have raised interest ...
