LONDON, May 9 (Reuters) - Britain's government will not
change the Bank of England's 2% inflation target and is working
with the central bank to ensure fiscal and monetary policy both
work to bring down inflation, financial services minister Andrew
Griffith said on Tuesday.
"We will continue to work closely with them (the BoE) to
ensure that monetary and fiscal policy are well coordinated. And
the chancellor reconfirmed the inflation target of 2% at the
Autumn Statement and confirmed this government will not change
the target," Griffith told parliament.
