英国央行副行长戴夫·拉姆斯登周一表示,近期政府债券收益率的上升将有助于缓解能源成本上升对英国物价的影响,但如果通胀压力加剧,央行可能不得不上调关键利率。
The recent rise in government bond yields will help limit the impact of higher energy costs on U.K. prices, but the Bank of England may have to raise its key interest rate if inflationary pressures build, Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden said Monday.
本月早些时候,英国央行将关键利率维持在3.75%,尽管投资者预计该利率将在11月升至4%。
The BOE left its key interest rate at 3.75% earlier this month, although investors expect to see an increase to 4% in November. Ramsden’s comments will likely reinforce those expectations, since he was one of the six members of the Monetary Policy Committee who voted to leave borrowing costs unchanged.
