Response To: Bank pumps £50bn into stalled economy

@innovate, the money goes to the banks indirectly by pumping gilts which banks own. Banks leverage the increase asset or sell the asset at a profit. However the quick indirect effect to this is OIL goes UP, and consumers SPEND LESS. Considering the UK service sector is 70% of GDP, ditto many other G20's, QE does not resolve the problem, it just keeps the 1% stocked with caviar. Welcome to the OIL creation of n(times)# DIP phenomenon.....this will not end until QE stops, QE is a mechanism to fund governments who refuse to balance budgets. The independence of BOE does not exist as the current slow down is natural for the time of year, as I've stated previously. King refuses to allow the Magic 2% to be hit as this would cure unemployment (see Germany for how to create & power a country on low inflation). I'm afraid whilst King & Co are in power of the central bank, they will not manage the economy successfully as demonstrated over the past decade & 2% target is never hit as the average.

King Adds to Gloom Over UK Economy

I recommend King gets some Prozac, today USA housing UP, German Confidence UP, 15:20 FTSE 100 UP, S&P 500 UP, Egypt UP significantly yesterday, Euro300 UP. Yes so King is indeed in need of Prozac as this minor macro downturn will wash away as always in Q4 when everyone comes off holiday and buys. Surely he can see the pattern? Justification for QE is not present, minor recession is good for correcting bubbling commodities which stifle growth. Not doing anything now will be a boon for the recovery and deliver sustainability with jobs. QE is now a job destroyer.
