BOE: Just a quick reminder that the earlier flagged weekend comments from BoE's

Haldane came after comments from BoE Deputy Governor Broadbent, who noted the

following on Tuesday: "we keep under review all our potential policy tools and

this is a question that's been thought about on and off since the financial

crisis and it's a balanced judgment." It is "quite possible that more monetary

easing will be needed over time." Although Broadbent was also cognisant of the

problems that negative interest rates could pose for banks.

- Elsewhere, Governor Bailey recently noted that the Bank was not "currently

planning for or contemplating" cutting rates below zero. However, he did note

that "it's always wise, and particularly in these circumstances, not to rule

anything out forever."
