Overview:

In order to maintain price stability, the Government has set the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) a target for the annual inflation rate of the Consumer Price Index of 2%. Subject to that, the MPC is also required to support the Government’s objective of maintaining high and stable growth and employment. The inflation report is published quarterly by bank staff under the guidance of the members of the MPC.

The Bank of England’s Agency for Central Southern England visits the Thames Valley on a quarterly basis, to gather information directly from local business leaders. It is this data, together with equivalent data from the 11 other regional agents that is fed back to the MPC in order that they can make a decision on the position of interest rates.

We are delighted to hear the latest inflation report findings and conclusions from Andrew Holder. As well as sharing this information with the delegates, Andrew would be delighted to take questions from the floor.

This is a complimentary event for members and early registration is recommended.
