However, the BOEвЂ™s regional agents report and its Decision Maker Panel showed wage settlements continuing to creep higher and that companies are passing on costs in output prices, a sign that inflation may be getting embedded. вЂњWe know is going to go higher due to energy price movements and other things which we canвЂ™t really contain shorter term,вЂќ he said.

Pill told Bloomberg TV that there was nothing the BOE can do about the immediate short term inflation pressures. Short term expectations are вЂњclose to their record high,вЂќ the BOE said on Thursday and вЂњmedium to longer-term expectations remained above their historic averages.вЂќ Pill said the old guidance that вЂњmost members judge some degree of further tightening may still be appropriateвЂќ had become вЂњa bit stale.вЂќДЄll the focus now appears to be on preventing inflation expectations losing their 2% anchor. The BOEвЂ™s whole nine-member monetary policy committee shifted hawkishly, with two members who had indicated they were hesitant to raise rates further now signed up the guidance that вЂњforcefulвЂќ action may be needed. The BOE is under pressure to move faster and harder, with several ruling Conservative Party MPs recently criticising it for allowing prices to spiral upwards and many economists claiming it was too slow to respond.

I agree with your emphasis on the importance of ensuring longer-term inflation expectations are anchored at 2%.вЂќ вЂњIt is particularly important to ensure that inflationary pressures in the labor market do not persist in the medium term. вЂњIt is imperative to bring inflation back down to target and to keep it anchored there,вЂќ the chancellor wrote. SunakвЂ™s letter was notably more matter-of-fact than previous exchanges, with a clear concern that inflation expectations may get out of control. Inflation is currently 9%, and the BOE expects it to peak at 11% in October. The change in tone was also apparent in the exchange of letters between the Chancellor Rishi Sunak and BOE Governor Andrew Bailey, required when inflation is more than 1% off the 2% target. Pill reinforced the message on Friday, saying: вЂњIf we see greater evidence that the current high level of inflation is becoming embedded in pricing behaviour by firms, in wage setting behaviour by firms and workers, then that will be the trigger for this more aggressive action.вЂќ The BOE has never raised rates by more than 0.25% at a single meeting in its 25 years of independence. Markets now expect three half point rate rises this year, taking rates to 3%. The central bank reined in its previous emphasis on the trade off between inflation and growth that had been a common feature of its recent communications.

The BOEвЂ™s decision was accompanied by new guidance that it would act more вЂњforcefullyвЂќ if necessary. He marked a shift towards a more aggressive policy on taming inflation at the BOE and Treasury.

PillвЂ™s comments to Bloomberg TV on Friday followed a fifth back-to-back quarter point rate rise, taking borrowing costs to 1.25%.
