BoE Governor Bailey (Q&A) says inflation expectations remain elevated for households and businesses; as inflation comes off, that will feed through into expectations, and that will give greater confidence MPC is on track and then take further steps.

BoE Governor Bailey's comments signal a cautious but optimistic outlook on inflation expectations, suggesting that as inflation declines, it will bolster confidence in the MPC's policy trajectory.
