Bank-of-England-LogoAfter Mervyn King was forced to explain to the Chancellor Alistair Darling in a sixth explanatory letter about the violation of its target of 2%, the Bank of England was a dilution of the anti-inflationary remit accused.
Criticism came after the consumer price index rose by 3.5% in January, which was more than three times the rate that the bank forecast last spring, and well above the Bank’s 2% target.
City analysts said that the credibility of the Bank is ‘eroded’ and that the governor is giving himself ‘almost total discretion’. The interest rates were down, in spite of the governor’s strict mandate of price stability.
