Former Governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, tells Wake Up to Money on 5 Live that cutting interest rates will not be the answer to dealing with the economic impact of cornoavirus.
“I don’t think a further cut in interest rates now is going to do a great deal to help the situation,” he said.
“It may be a sign of reassurance but I don’t think it’s any more than that.”
“What is needed now are targeted measures to help businesses deal with a short-term crisis collapse of their cash flow and I think the Bank of England understands that very well.”
