King spoke with Bloomberg:

  • Global growth can improve without boosting inflation
  • He hasn't taken position on Brexit
  • World needs to take seriously the need to boost productivity
  • BOE didn't discuss negative rates during his tenure
  • Monetary policy now has diminishing returns
  • Monetary policy has boosted spending

King is one of the worst central bankers of all time, in my opinion. His comments on the ECB and BOJ are sure to raise a few feathers.
