LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Bank of England interest
rate-setter Jonathan Haskel said the BoE should be "really,
really careful" about the risk of high inflation becoming
embedded and he would watch data closely in the coming months
given the high levels of uncertainty.
"What I would prefer to do is make policy with much more
attention on the data flow over the next few months," Haskel
said in an interview published by website The Overshoot on
Monday.
Haskel, an external member of the Monetary Policy Committee,
said last week he remained ready to "act forcefully" against
persistent inflation, a phrase dropped by the majority of his
colleagues earlier this month.
