LONDON (Reuters) – Bank of England Chief Economist Huw Pill said labour market data released earlier on Tuesday showed inflation pressures in Britain remained too high for the BoE’s 2% inflation target.

“As we saw in the labour market data that was released this morning, pay growth remains quite sticky at elevated levels and levels that, given the outlook for productivity growth in the UK, are hard to reconcile with the UK inflation target,” Pill said during a discussion at a conference organised by bank UBS.

The BoE last week cut borrowing costs for only the second time since 2020 and said further reductions were likely to be gradual as it assessed the persistence of inflation pressures including from the first budget of Britain’s new government.
