LONDON, March 23 (Reuters) - Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Thursday the central bank believed inflation was set to fall quickly but data this week, which showed a surprise acceleration in price growth, meant the BoE wanted to see evidence of it happening. "We have raised rates a lot already," Bailey said in a video clip published by the BoE after it raised interest rates for the 11th time in a row.


"We believe inflation will begin to fall quite rapidly before the summer but, as yesterday's release for February showed, we need to see that actually happen." (Writing by William Schomberg; editing by Sarah Young)
