April 14 (Reuters) - Bank of England policymaker Silvana
Tenreyro said on Friday past interest rate rises would take time
to bear down on inflation, and that it was important not to
over-adjust policy while the impact of these past rate rises was
feeding through.
"We need to be patient," she said at a panel discussion
hosted by the International Monetary Fund in Washington. "We
don't want to get burned. We don't want to get an ice-cold
shower."
Tenreyro voted against a further BoE rate rise last month,
arguing that past tightening was more than enough and could push
inflation well below target in the medium term.
