LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Thursday that the central bank's decision to tone down its language on the need for higher interest rates did not mean rates were going to stay on hold. "I'm not saying 'This is it, we're done', because the world is too uncertain in our case," he said in an interview with financial news channel CNBC. "There is an encouraging downward path of inflation in our central projection. But there's a big risk. We've got the biggest risk in our forecast on inflation on the upside that we've ever had," he said. (Reporting by David Milliken, Editing by Kylie MacLellan)
