“Bank of England Deputy Governor Paul Tucker said he’s open to adding to asset purchases as policy makers stressed the central bank has the flexibility to expand stimulus if needed. Tucker was testifying alongside policy makers David Miles, Charlie Bean and Ian McCafferty at a Parliament hearing in London today on the BOE’s latest quarterly forecasts. The BOE has said it will ‘look through’ a period of above-target inflation to keep nurturing growth, which Bean said ‘made sense’ in the current environment. Tucker also raised the prospect of negative interest rates at the hearing.”
