Carney speaks to the WSJ

  • Recent events have not materially changed the global economic growth trajectory
  • Sees downside risks in EM economies
  • Confidence from the UK consumer and investment are still high
  • BOE sees no signs that UK/EU vote is unsettling businesses or consumers
  • UK rate hike will depend on labour costs and inflation picking up and whether growth stays on track
