t the Government placed on the Banks independence; and we will recommend that, in contrast, a Conservative government takes action to strengthen the MPC still further. It is also important to understand that the first decade of a more independent MPC has coincided with a very favourable business an...

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England (MPC) failed to control inflation on the way up, allowing interest rates that were too low for too long. The Uk made its own contribution to the world credit bubble, and has its own high inflation as a result. Expect more bad figures today.
Now ...

The Monetary Policy Committee might manage a 0.25% cut in their recommended rate at the next meeting or they may delay further.
Why does the MPC always want to get it wrong? They failed to put interest rates up enough in the days of easy credit. Their failure meant too much borrowing and a bi...

As someone who has been a farily lonely voice explaining that the Bank of England was not made independent in 1997, and who thought the MPC alongside this government was likely to make a mess of running our economy, I have been less suprised at how long this nonsense has continued and ...

uld they do? Here is my present list, containing some familiar items to regular readers.
1. Cut interest rates. Convene an emergency meeting of the MPC if they want to persist with the fiction that they are in charge, and dont let them out until they see sense and back Mr Blanchflower.
2. Revisi...

Readers will know I have wanted cuts in interest rates to stave off recession for many months. I have gone hoarse telling the MPC they have got it wrong again, lurching from too easy to too tight.
This week, instead of having their normal MPC meeting wasting time reaching the obvious conclusion...

The MPC should be changed, before it does any more damage.
In my New Year message at the end of 2007 I called again for lower interest rates. It was obvious that rates were too high, and they would bring many job losses and factory closures. Inflation would rise during 2008 owing to previous MPC...

es. Apparently it now wishes to limit the depth and length of the downturn.
Yet it was the authorities who brought about this downturn. The MPC late in the day called time on too much borrowing in the private sector by hoisting interest rates to make borrowing dearer. The Bank of England s...

Yesterday was Black Tuesday for job losses. There are going to be many more days like that this winter.
Menwhile, the MPC still driving firmly by looking in the rear view mirror has at last caught sight of the downturn. Its Report is likely to bring us more gloom and doom as it seeks to justify i...

effect than they think. In the meantime, if they are serious about borrowing such large sums, they need to offer the saver a reasonable deal. If the MPC carries on slashing rates from here without a thought for the huge deficit the government has foolishly decided to run, there could be trouble ahe...

cut was a cut too far. We need more savings and loan repayments in this country to create stability. Savers need a reward for saving. Above all the MPC charged with watching inflation should understand the impact of the very large devaluation of sterling they have encouraged.

When the MPC meets this week it should remember just how dependent we are on imports, and just how far sterling has dropped in the last couple of months. If we take the fifth or so of our National Output represented by imported goods, and reckon that the prices of those goods will over the next few...
