Rare Dose Of Reality From The UK: BOE’s Adam Posen Says Chance UK Could Slip Into Recession

In a rare dose of realism, Reuters reports that the BOE’s Monetary Policy Committee member Adam Posen said there is a distinct chance the UK economy could slip back into a recession. Not surprisingly, the BOE member said eurozone public sector cuts would add as a drag on the UK economy. He also added that he hopes the recovery would continue but it can not be guaranteed. As the BOE has demonstrated no problems in the past with activating money printing QE episodes, is this merely a preamble to yet another round of English quantitative easing? As was pointed out on Zero Hedge over the weekend, recent changes in excess reserves in the US have provided the implicit benefit of nearly $200 billion in new Fed money entering the pursuit of risky assets, and everyone knows that the ECB is now on crash course with Germany over its own most recent monetization regime. It should thus come as no surprise that the UK feels alone and will likely do all it can to pursue the same currency devaluation techniques that seem to be prevalent across the globe, and not be left too far behind.
