Context

The BoE's Greene indicates that the economic landscape differs significantly from 2022-23, particularly with now higher rates and increased economic slack. Her comments suggest a cautious stance on monetary policy, as the trade-offs could present greater economic risks this time around, with a specific concern that inflation expectations could rise. This sentiment hints at a more dovish approach from the BoE, potentially affecting GBP and fixed income markets as participants recalibrate their expectations for future rate decisions.
