“Instead of the promised productivity increase via the bailout reforms, the Greek economy experienced the opposite: a sharp drop in labor productivity and a significant redistribution of employment toward low-productivity sectors.”

[Atlantic Council @AtlanticCouncil]

.@bankofengland's @economistmeg explains why she voted to hike interest rates at our #IMFWBAM26 studio in Thailand: inflation and second-round effects.

"We've had successive supply shocks...and businesses and households are both much more attentive to inflation now," she says.
