Andrew Bailey A Central Bank on the High Wire
Andrew Bailey, the Bank of England chief, is trying to calm markets, wrestle inflation and maintain the bank’s credibility amid Britain’s financial storm. Andrew Bailey is in an unenviable position. As governor of the Bank of England, he must rein in inflation, which is rising at the fastest pace in 40 years.
Mr. Bailey has a laundry list of challenges, including returning order to a dysfunctional bond market, stopping the turmoil in the pension fund industry from precipitating a full-blown financial crisis and protecting the central bank’s independence from the government.
Sitting atop the central bank, Mr. Bailey has to manage two tasks: keeping inflation low and stable and ensuring Britain’s financial stability. In the weeks since the government released its tax cut plan on Sept. 23, his efforts to do both have collided, leading to complicated and at times conflicting messaging, putting the 328-year-old bank’s credibility at risk.
