Governor Andrew Bailey defended the Bank of England's buying and selling of UK government bonds following criticism of the policy. Bailey said the BOE's quantitative easing program was "broadly neutral" for the taxpayer and provided crucial help for the economy following the global financial crisis and Covid pandemic. The BOE is actively selling gilts, which tightens monetary policy in the UK, and Bailey said the BOE shouldn't pause these sales as it puts itself in a stronger position to buy assets again in the future.
