I gave a speech at @UofGlasgow on the lessons we have learned from recent supply shocks and how to respond to them. The conventional wisdom is to look through them. I think we need to reconsider this. www.bankofengland.co.uk/speech/2025/...

Here’s how I’m thinking through some of the channels of tariff propagation through the U.K. economy. Exchange rates are important—and they haven’t moved as the theory would suggest. My latest in @FT www.ft.com/content/cd50...

Was a pleasure to join @flacqua on @BloombergTV today to discuss the potential impact of tariffs on the UK (depends partly on exchange rates), other sources of uncertainty for the UK inflation outlook and the importance of central bank independence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nan...
