The Bank of England is trying to get inflation under control without doing too much damage to the UK economy, its chief economist says.
Huw Pill told CNBC that the Bank’s monetary policy committee is aiming to balance getting inflation down to 2%, without slowing growth too severely.

“Creating that balance, signalling that balance, that was really our key message yesterday.”
