Still going strong

  • UK bond yields are different to Japan

  • Sees no need for UK policy to follow Japan

  • Prefers other policy tools to negative rates

  • BOE does have a plan on how to phase out QE

  • BOE could go further on asset purchases if needed

  • Bank is still working on an estimate of a neutral rate

  • Neutral rate is likely to be low for a very long time

  • We would not think about reversing QE until bank rate is around 2%

All central bankers are worried about "too low for too long" but none of them have been asked to quantify that.
