Top of Mind - UK & BoE outlook post-Makerfield

Andy Burnham won the Makerfield by-election, and he will now almost certainly go on to enter Number 10 Downing Street. What would that mean for the UK economy and for interest rates? In this Top of Mind call, Bill Diviney takes stock of both the election and Thursday’s Bank of England meeting, with an update on our latest expectation for the economy and monetary policy. Larissa Fritz then discusses the impact on gilt markets, while Georgette Boele discusses the outlook for sterling.
