@PhilAldrick Compared to other CB’s the BoE did more QE as a % of GDP, focused on the most rate sensitive bond mkt in the world, that got hit the worst when rates went up, & uniquely, sold the same bonds at ~70% losses at the mkt lows. And yet these peeps tell the city how to do risk mgmt?
The Bank of England's QE program will cost the UK taxpayer £20bn a year until the early 2030s, the BOE estimates. That's 1/3rd of the defence budget, for context. Of course, it wouldn't be so bad if ex-chancellors had not spent the gains in 2009-2022. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Investors are getting worried that a Labour govt would change the Bank of England’s QE arrangements to raise £1.5bn by reducing debt interest payments, UBS analysts say. The money would come from high street bank profits. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Thames Water crisis risks driving up the cost of investment in Britain's water sector, and regulated industries more broadly. Other water companies are being targeted by short-sellers and borrowing costs are rising. With @abhinavvr bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @markets “Thames is not a good advert for investing in private equity infrastructure, and it’s happening just as the government is trying to get UK pension funds to invest more,” said John Ralfe, an independent pensions consultant. by @PhilAldrick

@PhilAldrick @thetimes Honestly, the best thing Hunt could do is announce a review of QE/QT ‘to learn from best practice around the world’ where government bonds aren’t sold by the central bank. Gilts would fly. Interest rates would fall. Then tax cuts all around!
THANK GOD there are still some companies out there doing what they can to make the BoE's life easier by offering very small pay rises. I can't say which
There are good reasons why economies are proving resilient to higher rates, but I don't buy the "rate hikes are really stimulus" argument.. We have studies that focus just on the income effects (to eg bond holders) & they are never powerful. And income effects only part of story
@PhilAldrick The (oft forgotten) secondary objective of the BoE is to ‘support the govt’s wider economic agenda’…. that might cover not losing billions without good reason…
HOW CAN WE MAKE AI WORK IN THE NHS? HOW CAN WE MAKE NHS INFO INFRASTRUCTURE FIT FOR THE 21ST CENTURY? These are *BIG* questions. Now you can read my (long) answer because MY THESIS “Designing an algorithmically enhanced NHS” is available online: ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:0… 🧵
💥 Spectacular economics row breaks out. OBR chief Richard Hughes says it is “generous” to call govt spending plans after 2025 “fiction”. Treasury chief James Bowler tells MPs: “I don’t agree with that. I don’t agree with the language used.” 🥊 💥 only at the @FT
Why has Tesla just cut production in its main European factory? Why is everyone so worried about oil prices? Are we heading for another global supply chain crisis? My primer on the state of global shipping following the attacks in the Red Sea 📈🗺️👇
This great perceptive piece from @PhilAldrick in December showed why the economic indicators — surely Sunak’s chief consideration — pointed to second half 2024
@BloombergUK The economics always made an H2 election seem more likely. All households will feel a lot better off then (barring another energy / supply chain / pandemic-style shock) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
It's kept in a vault in the Treasury - you have to answer three riddles to get access and no one has ever managed it.
Twice now Keir Starmer has said, “the first lever we will pull is the growth lever.” It will be fascinating to see where in Downing Street he reckons this magic growth lever is, and why no one else has ever tried pulling on it.
Essential reading from @PhilAldrick — UK economy forecast to avoid a recession in 2024 and strengthen in the second half of the year — BUT Q4 2023 and first half of 2024 touch and go — backdrop improves in the summer — case against spring election? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
