Monetary Policy Roundtable
On 30 September, the Bank of England and the Centre for Economic Policy
Research jointly hosted a Monetary Policy Roundtable. This was the first in
what is expected to become a regular series intended to provide a forum for
economists to discuss key issues affecting the design and operation of monetary policy in the United Kingdom. Participants included a range of economists from private sector financial institutions, academia and public sector bodies. There were four discussion topics:
- The prospects for the housing market and consumer spending;
- Oil and other global price pressures;
- Monetary policy considerations at the current juncture;
- Lessons from the financial turmoil for monetary policy.

opinions expressed at the meeting are attributed to individuals.
