Carney speech: No-deal would be an instantaneous shock to both supply and demand

Following the Bank of England’s decision to keep its policy rate unchanged at 0.75%,  Governor Mark Carney is responding to questions from the press. Below are some key quotes as reported by Reuters.

“No-deal would be an instantaneous shock to both supply and demand.”

“Cannot simply say that rates will go one way in the event of a Brexit deal, and another after no-deal.”

“If you strip out markets’ no-deal Brexit risk, rate expectations are roughly where we would expect.”
