The Bank of England's Catherine Mann Calls for a New Approach to Economic Policy

Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann has called on the government to move economic policy to a more sustainable footing. In an essay for the resolution foundation, she says fiscal and monetary policymakers need to transition from a crisis policy phase to a longer term agenda. The growing chorus of voices calling for a new approach by government come just as the Prime Minister faces a major political challenge from his predecessor Friday. Boris Johnson resigned as an MP with two of his allies also stepping down from Parliament in a row over Covid-19 rule breaches.
