The former Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has warned that a recession 'is more likely than not' in light of the current state of the UK economy.
Warning of the danger of wage push inflation - an overall rise in the cost of goods and services caused by wage rises - Mr Carney said it could keep inflation stubbornly high in economies like the UK."The chief economist was speaking earlier this week, or in the last few days at least, and focussing on issues around inflation expectations," continued Carney.
"Making sure that this doesn't become a self-perpetuating process, making sure that wage increases that the British people get - and they deserve wage increases - aren't eaten away by inflation, and we get into that spiral. The comments come amid the ongoing cost of living crisis, with the largest public sector strike action linked to wages seen in recent history.
Mark Carney, the former Bank of England governor and now the UN envoy, attends the opening of Finance Day at the COP26 UN Climate Summit in Glasgow on November 3, 2021."That's why the Bank of England's been tightening monetary policy, said another way: raising interest rates, and helping to get that rate of inflation down.
"I think they acknowledge they have some more work to do on that front, as do central banks around the world."
