Tuesday, October 22, 2013

The second , the euro zone " is no longer in crisis . "

 

Limits on the level of the unemployment rate of 7% set BoE before considering raising interest rates can be lowered if inflationary pressures fade , Bean added , which tend to support the majority of the BoE Monetary Policy Council . " If it seems there are still weaknesses in the economy ... then maybe the current monetary policy stance will be maintained much longer , probably reduced the extent of the unemployment rate to a lower level again , " he said .

 

Bean also said there was no signal inflate house prices in the UK as a whole , kendata recent data is showing an increase of 10 % per year in London . England is government can raise the cost of mortgages if the home loan scheme Help to Buy push up house prices rather than increasing supply , Bean added .

Many economists have said that the assistance dtawarkan for home buyers who are not able to deposit large amounts may be pushing up house prices than the trigger level of home construction .
