The Investment 360 Index highlights growing frustration with the Bank of England’s slow response to shifting economic conditions. While confidence in the Bank of England has improved - satisfaction has risen to 46% from just 20% last year - a clear tension remains. Many respondents acknowledge the Bank’s performance but feel it should be moving faster in its actions. 📊Among the respondents who remain ‘mixed’ or ‘negative’ about the performance of the BoE, the majority point to the fact monetary policy has been too tight for too long. 🪙62% think monetary policy should loosen, claiming credit and cash flow tightness is stifling growth. ⚖️The BoE now faces a challenging balancing act: keeping business confidence high while gradually loosening monetary policy. For an in-depth look at the sentiment around the Bank’s performance, take a look at the latest Investment 360 Index here. >> https://lnkd.in/eN4P7aaV #BankOfEngland #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #Investment360
