Huw Pill, the Chief Economist of the Bank of England in the United Kingdom, stated on Friday that the central bank's primary focus must remain on returning inflation to its 2% target. Speaking at a roundtable discussion in the United States hosted by BARCLAYS PLC, Pill emphasized that price stability should take precedence over other economic trade-offs.
In my thinking, for all the discussion about trade-offs, which is there and we have to take into account, I think the primacy of keeping inflation towards target and keeping it there needs to be emphasised.
