He is right about the quality of the recovery before increasing interest rates, too many factors to consider, such as under employment and zero hours contracts. A wait and see policy is sensible until the economy recovers properly.

Quote:
Asked if he was concerned about the very fast-spiralling London property market, Mr Carney said: "Much of what's driven in London, of course, is not mortgage-driven but is cash-driven.

"It's driven, in many cases, by foreign buyers. We, as a central bank, can't influence that.

"We change underwriting standards - it doesn't matter, there's not a mortgage. We change interest rates - it doesn't matter, there's not a mortgage, etc.

Its all those Greeks, Italians, Ukrainians, Chinese, Brazilians, Singaporeans and Turks who are hiding their money. ;)
