It pointed to its additional liquidity support for banking – known as the Temporary Extended Collateral Repo Facility – which it revealed on Monday.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/BoE_PressOffice/status/1580126207492128768?s=20\n\nJonathan Haskel, Bank of England policymaker, has avoided questions about recent market turmoil in a speech this morning.\n\nThe official of the central bank declined to comment on Governor Andrew Bailey’s remarks about the emergency bond-buying program in Manchester.\n\nMixed messages from Bank have caused big swings in the Pound overnight and this morning.\n\nInstead, Mr Haskel argued that the UK’s main problem was a lacklustre level of business innovation and productivity.\n\nHe stated that investment was behind most G7 countries prior to the financial crisis – more than a decade ago, and even more recently, just before the pandemic.\n\nHe also pointed out that these levels were lower than US investment in many sectors, particularly finance and retail.\n\nMr Haskel stated that the “big medium-term issue in policy is the slowdown of productivity.”"}
