UK fin min still on a panel discussion in Davos 20 Jan

  • key issue is the relationship between Europe and Russia

Deflecting attention from Brexit it would appear.

  • UK consumers feeling the effect of lower pound as it feeds into inflation

Yep, got to be careful what you wish for sometimes eh? UK retail sales may tell us more.

Other comments from Hammond pertaining to migration:

  • "open question" if post-Brexit UK will favour EU migrants
  • all u[p for negotiation
  • UK economy effectively at full employment, will continue to need migrants
