LONDON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Bank of England rate-setter
Jonathan Haskel said on Thursday he still saw a role for
"forceful action" if inflation stays persistent, language that
the Monetary Policy Committee as a whole dropped last week.
"Economic theory suggests that uncertainty around the
persistence of inflation should be met with more forceful
action," Haskel said in his annual report to parliament.
"(So) I shall remain alert to indications that inflation is
more persistent than we expected, and act forcefully if
necessary."
