LONDON (Reuters) - Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane said on Thursday that the central bank could decide to raise interest rates or to cut them if there was a disorderly, no-deal Brexit.
The decision would depend on the balance of factors such as a fall in the value of the pound and the reduction in supply -- such as less investment and fewer migrant workers -- which would push up inflation, against the hit to demand, he said.
"It is genuinely two-sided which way we might act and how we will act will depend upon that balance of demand, supply and the exchange rate, just as it did pre-referendum," Haldane said during a question-and-answer event at the Institute for Government think tank in London.
