Silvana Tenreyro examines the impact of Covid-19 on the UK economy. And she explains what we’re doing to keep inflation stable.

Silvana looks at the things that affect inflation. For example, energy, property and wage costs for businesses. She says it’s important to understand what was going on before the crisis hit because the trends that were happening then may be accelerating now.
