Reports have suggested that the newest member of Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee was surprised to see the little inflation growth expectation than original practical condition. The BOE’s target was to keep the inflation level below 2% which it has failed to achieve.
Ben Broadbent claimed that the rise in the commodity prices and the rise in the sales taxes were mainly responsible for the inflation. The inflation needs to be controlled before it reaches alarming conditions.
The Office for National Statistics on Tuesday claimed that the annual inflation rate has touched 4.5% in April which has gone by from the previous 4.0% in March.
The inflation changes have caused a request to raise the wages of the employees to compensate the price rise of the commodities.
"There are things the MPC (monetary policy committee) should worry about, particularly with regards to commodity prices. It treats these as one-off prices ... and that has been the most important single forecasting error. In an environment where the most important parts of the world are consuming commodities, you might do things differently", Broadbent told a parliament committee.
Broadbent has been the one who have voted that the interest rate should be increased so that the inflation rate can be decreased.
