The Treasury Committee will hold an evidence session with the Bank of England on its November 2020 Monetary Policy Report.

The Committee is likely to examine the Bank’s analysis of the economic impact of the November lockdown, the rise in coronavirus cases since September, and how the economy may have been impacted by the latter in the absence of the November lockdown.

The Committee is also likely to seek views on how recent vaccine developments could impact the economy, whether firms are prepared for Brexit, quantitative easing and negative interest rates.
