BOE’s Bailey: Market events like two weeks ago will happen, test is whether more triggered

• Market events like those of two weeks ago or so will happen; the test is not whether they happen but whether they trigger wider instability
• Cautiously optimistic that inflation expectations are anchored
• Communicating when we decide to accommodate short-run shocks or trade-off between inflation and activity is essential but difficult
• Too early to declare victory on inflation
• The course will be a steady one
