On 11 December, the Bank of England and the Centre for Economic Policy Research hosted the ninth Monetary Policy Roundtable. These events provide a forum for economists to discuss key issues relevant to monetary policy in the United Kingdom. As with previous Roundtable discussions, participants included a range of economists from private sector financial institutions, academia, public sector bodies and industry associations. There were two discussion topics: prospects for the UK housing market, and how important a role it can play in the recovery; and companies’ pricing behaviours and the persistence of inflation.
