Guest Speaker: Glynn Jones - Agent, Bank of England
Glynn joined the Bank’s Agency Network as Deputy Agent for the West Midlands and Oxfordshire in 2011. In addition to his Agency tasks, Glynn currently works within the Demand and Output team - drawing together intelligence from across the Network – and contributes to the Bank’s Outreach work. Whilst at the Bank he has been on two secondments, the first to the Credit, Banking and Finance Team in Threadneedle Street and more recently project managing the Bank’s Strategic Review of the Agency Network.
Prior to joining the Bank, Glynn was Chief Economist at the RDA ‘Advantage West Midlands’. Most of his career has been spent working in the private sector. This includes a period working for KPMG, as well as several multi-disciplinary consultancies drawing on his skills in economics, planning/regeneration and community development. This experience enabled him establish his own consultancy in 2002 prior to joining the RDA.
He has an MA from Akron University, Ohio and a PhD from Coventry University.
The conflict in the Middle East has significantly affected the outlook for the UK economy. The disruption the conflict has caused to energy supplies has led to a sharp rise in global energy prices. Glynn will draw on the Banks most recent forecast to draw out how higher energy prices are expected to affect the outlook for the UK economy and the construction sector, as well as the implications for inflation. He will also touch on the scenarios that are helping to inform the Monetary Policy Committee’s decision-making in light of the uncertainties surrounding the size and duration of the shock to energy prices.
