Bailey speech: Expect four UK rate cuts next year as inflation eases

Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey spoke in a pre-recorded interview at the Global Boardroom Digital Conference hosted by the Financial Times (FT) on Wednesday.

Key quotes

Expect four UK rate cuts next year as inflation eases.

We emphasised the word gradual on the outlook for rates.

Disinflation process is well embedded but we have further to travel.

We look at fiscal tightening in the budget, but the key is the response of employers to national insurance increases.

Inflation impact of higher trade tariffs is not straightforward at all.

We are beyond the point of responding to issues in financial sector by introducing new regulation.

Market reaction

At the time of writing, GBP/USD is losing 0.21% on the day to trade near 1.2640, having come under renewed selling pressure following these dovish comments.
