Bank of England's Forbes breaks 階級s, says 率s could rise soon

By Andy Bruce

LONDON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Differences の中で Bank of England 公式の/役人s about the 見通し for 利益/興味 率s moved into 詐欺師 焦点(を合わせる) on Tuesday, as one of them said 率s might need to rise soon if the growth remains solid and インフレーション continues to 加速する.

Last week the central bank signalled it was in no 急ぐ to 引き上げ(る) 率s, with BoE 知事 示す Carney 強調する/ストレスing that Britain's economy would 直面する "新たな展開s and turns" during its 出発 from the European Union.

But Kristin Forbes, an American academic and 外部の member of the Bank's 通貨の 政策 委員会 (MPC), said she was beginning to grow uncomfortable with the BoE's 政策 姿勢.

Her comments shed light on the 部分的な/不平等な 分裂(する) の中で MPC members 述べるd in last week's 政策 minutes, which 記録,記録的な/記録するd that some policymakers had moved "a little closer" to their 限界s to 許容するing high インフレーション to help support the economy.

Forbes said previous 予測(する)s showing インフレーション 狙撃 に向かって 3 パーセント had been "just about tolerable" when there was a weak 見通し for growth and 職業s. But now, she said, there was little 調印する that the economy was about to より悪くする.

She also said there was 試験的な 証拠 that インフレーション was starting to 選ぶ up faster than 推定する/予想するd.

"In my 見解(をとる), if the economy remains solid and the 選ぶ-up in the 名目上の data continues, this could soon 示唆する an 増加する in Bank 率," Forbes said in a speech to be 配達するd on Wednesday in 物陰/風下d, northern England.

Her comments 原因(となる)d 英貨の/純銀の to 強化する modestly against the U.S. dollar, and British 政府 社債 未来s dipped.

While Forbes 投票(する)d to 削減(する) 利益/興味 率s to a 記録,記録的な/記録する low 0.25 パーセント last August in 返答 to the shock June 23 Brexit 投票(する), she and two others on the nine-strong MPC …に反対するd 再開するing the BoE's 社債 購入(する) 刺激. She also 投票(する)d against buying 法人組織の/企業の 負債.

"I don't think it would surprise many people to see Forbes 確認するing herself as one of those people with 限られた/立憲的な 寛容," said RBC 経済学者 Sam Hill, 追加するing that other MPC members had yet to make their personal 見解(をとる)s explicit. "I don't think the markets should be swayed by her comments."

同様に as 同意しないing about the best path for 利益/興味 率s, Forbes said an uncertain and 潜在的に volatile 経済的な 見通し was not a 推論する/理由 to keep 通貨の 政策 on 持つ/拘留する 無期限に/不明確に.

"I believe that the MPC should be nimble and willing to quickly adjust the appropriate path for 通貨の 政策 in either direction as needed throughout this period - even if it means 逆転するing 最近の 調整s to Bank 率," Forbes said.

Other policymakers have 以前 said it would be 高くつく/犠牲の大きい to 逆転する what would be the BoE's first 率 rise since 2007, if it turned out to be unwarranted.

Forbes said Brexit 交渉s on how Britain will leave the European Union would probably continue to 運動 moves in 英貨の/純銀の and 信用/信任 in the economy.

Earlier on Tuesday a Reuters 投票 of 経済学者s 示唆するd 英貨の/純銀の was likely to slip その上の in value, to $1.21 over the next 12 months from more than $1.24 at 1600 GMT. (Editing by Catherine Evans)
