The Bank of England’s Andrew Haldane is not a man to mince his words (see here and here) but perhaps the excess truthiness in his latest testimony to British MPs may have many questioning his ability as a central-banker (unable to lie when it is required). “Let’s be clear. We’ve intentionally blown the biggest government bond bubble in history,” Haldane said. “We need to be vigilant to the consequences of that bubble deflating more quickly than [we] might otherwise have wanted.” As Canadian Carney steps into the BoE head shoes, it seems Haldane has some (indirect) advice there also, as The Guardian reports his comments that the committee had not been “entirely free” of political interference during the crisis; and that he hoped to “improve decision-making,” in a less hierarchical, more diverse, somewhat humbler organization.” The “biggest risk to global financial stability… would be a disorderly reversion in the yields of government bonds globally.” he said, adding that there had been “shades of that” in recent weeks.
