LONDON (Reuters) – Governor Mark Carney said on Wednesday the Bank of England was coordinating with Britain’s finance minister to ensure its surprise interest rate cut and other measures announced on Wednesday would have maximum impact.
“The Bank is coordinating its actions with those that the Chancellor will announce later today in the budget in order to ensure that our initiatives are complementary and that they will collectively have maximum impact consistent with our independent responsibilities,” Carney said at a news conference.
