BoE Gov. Bailey: Inflation looks set to fall markedly this year
Reuters reports that the Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Monday that inflation looks set to fall markedly this year as energy prices decrease.
However, he said that a shortage of workers in the labour market poses a "major risk" to this scenario.
"I think that going forwards the major risk to inflation coming down ... is the supply side - and in this country particularly, the question of the shrinkage of the labour force," Bailey told lawmakers on parliament's Treasury Committee.
