Matt Roberts-Sklar

Matt’s work combines a deep understanding of financial markets and the Bank’s policy toolkit with cutting edge analytics and research to influence policy. He is particularly interested in understanding policy tools e.g. QT, and understanding evolving financial market structures and instruments, e.g. liquidity in fixed income markets.

Matt previously worked in the Bank’s Capital Markets Division where his work mainly focussed on understanding risks to financial stability that arise from the activities and behaviour of non-bank financial markets participants. He also worked in the Bank’s Macro Financial Analysis Division, looking at the cross-country co-movement of bond yields, modelling term premia, the impact of unconventional monetary policy, and inflation markets. Before that Matt worked in the Bank’s Sterling Markets Division, implementing monetary policy (including QE), running liquidity insurance operations and collecting market intelligence.

He has an MMath in Mathematics from the University of Warwick and an MSc in Economics from the LSE.
