Growth and regulation
Speech by Mr Andrew Bailey, Deputy Governor of Prudential Regulation and Chief Executive Officer of the Prudential Regulation Authority at the Bank of England, at the Society of Business Economists Annual Dinner, London, 3 June 2013.
Treating the energy-driven inflation overshoot as temporary, expressing confidence in a return to target and pointing to soft activity give a mildly dovish tone; because the monetary policy content is limited, the score was kept close to zero.
Summary
Bailey's speech focuses mainly on growth and regulation, but the opening briefly addresses monetary policy: he says that before the Middle East conflict he expected inflation to return to the 2 percent target around April-May, and that evidence this would have happened without the shock had strengthened in recent months. He says he is confident inflation will return to target and that conditions are encouraging, but that it will take longer, adding that economic activity is "quite soft". The rest of the speech covers the UK's low potential growth over fifteen years, how well-designed regulation can support growth and the questions AI raises for both liability law and cybersecurity.
