The UK's finance minister Jeremy Hunt gave a speech alongside Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey at the City of London's annual Mansion House dinner on Monday evening UK time.

Greg had the details of Bailey's speech:

Hunt fell into line, saying the UK government will be:

  • "Working with the Governor and the Bank of England, we will do what is necessary for as long as necessary to tackle inflation persistence and bring it back to the 2% target"
  • "Delivering sound money is our number one focus"

Much of Hunt's speech focused on pension reform.
