    Bank of England to carry out temporary purchases of long-dated UK government bonds from today

    The Bank of England has announced it will carry out temporary purchases of long-dated UK government bonds from today as it warned there could be a "material risk to UK financial stability"

    This gets better by the hour.
    Okay, so where exactly does the BoE get the money from to purchase the Govt bonds?

    From the Statement "To enable the Bank to conduct this financial stability intervention, this operation has been fully indemnified by HM Treasury."

    Only last month the BoE was reported expected to be selling c.£40bn bonds to start unwinding QE. So we are now looking at yet more QE, at least in the short term...

      The IMF are a bunch of lefties. City bankers and investors are remainers and lefties. The pound is only crashing because the markets fear a Labour Government.
      Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

              The IMF is not alone in believing that the UK economy is being run like an emerging economy, or shall we say banana republic.
              They seem to be ok with Japan doing their best to drop value of yen (it’s as “reserve” as sterling) … for decades now!

                We aren't Japan and don't act like the Japanese.
