The grilling continues at the Treasury Select Committee

  • UK can achieve inflation target over time regardless of being in or our of EU

The headline is nothing we don't already know and market is suitably unfazed with GBPUSD pushing a little higher as USD edges lower again.

  • repeats that it is not the BOE remit to provide a comprehensive analysis. Not forming a view on the economic implications of leaving the EU
  • can not provide blanket assurance that there would not be short term financial stability issues if UK left
  • short-run financial stability issues would be associated normally with weaker short-term economic performance

What earlier on sounded a little defiant is now sounding a little limp.
