Inflation Persistence And Monetary Policy − Speech By Huw Pill, Bank Of England, Chief Economist And Executive Director, Monetary Analysis, ICMB Lecture, Graduate Institute, Geneva

Date 04/04/2023

In this speech Huw Pill discusses the outlook for the economy, including how lower energy prices might push down on inflation in the short term, but could also boost demand and therefore impact inflation in the medium term. He stresses that the MPC must continue to monitor how these external shocks to inflation might become embedded in the economy, and therefore risk persistently high domestically driven inflation. He goes into detail about the Monetary Policy Committee’s role in controlling inflation, and the potential impact of its recent significant increases to interest rates. He outlines how the Monetary Policy Committee carefully assesses the impact of interest rate rises that have yet to feed through, with the need to address current inflationary pressures.

UK Prudential Regulation Authority Censures Wyelands Bank Plc For Breaching Large Exposure Limits And Failings In Its Governance, Controls And Risk Management

Date 04/04/2023

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has censured Wyelands Bank Plc (Wyelands) for wide-ranging significant regulatory failings between 21 December 2016 and 28 May 2020, which spanned breaches relating to large exposure limits, capital reporting, governance and risk controls and PRA Own Initiative Requirements (OIREQs) and poor retention of WhatsApp messages. This is the first time the PRA has taken action against a firm for breaches of large exposure limits and found a breach of PRA Fundamental Rule 3 (requiring a firm to act in a prudent manner). The seriousness of the breaches justifies a substantial fine of £8,515,000. However, Wyelands is in wind down and the PRA accepted that it has very limited financial resources. The PRA has concluded that fining Wyelands would not advance its general objective to promote the safety and soundness of firms.
