Truss, who will be appointed by the Queen today, is ready to cap the cost of gas used for electricity and heating. Hard choices rather than wishful thinking are required to boost long-term growth potential of the British economy and maintain confidence in the monetary and fiscal policy framework. However, we think fears of unfunded tax cuts and energy subsidies precipitating a fiscal collapse are not justified. If investor confidence erodes further, this dynamic could become a self-fulfilling balance of payments crisis whereby foreigners would refuse to fund the U.K. having recourse to an IMF loan in the mid 1970s. Bell says it will be hard to avoid a recession in Europe, given the scale of the energy price rises. Like many other central banks, the Bank of England has been guilty of being too late to respond to the inflation threat. We have no option but to put it on the table given the huge overnight increase in energy costs. Plans to look again at the Bank of England’s mandate have clearly unsettled some and left the pound with another headwind. “Activity weakness was broad-based in August, with none of the three monitored categories immune to the wider slowdown.
