According to foreign media reports, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said that markets have already factored in expectations of central bank rate hikes when pricing assets, which he considers somewhat ahead of time. He noted that monetary policymakers must clearly focus on risks to economic growth, employment and inflation when making the next interest rate decision. He said that while markets expect the central bank to raise rates and that this is a judgment the market has to make, he believes such expectations are somewhat premature. Bailey stated that monetary policy action must be taken if appropriate. However, the immediate priority remains addressing the root causes of the shocks. He added that the central bank must respond to successive shocks, but its mandate is very clear: measures should be handled in a way that causes the least possible damage to economic activity and employment. Bailey also highlighted the risks posed by the conflict involving Iran to highly leveraged financial markets. The central bank had earlier warned of vulnerabilities in private credit and bond markets.
