LONDON (Reuters) - Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said on Friday that pressures pushing up inflation were likely to last.
"I actually think those tailwinds ... are probably going to persist for a while," Carney said in a set of closing remarks at the end of a BoE conference, reiterating comments he made earlier this month in a speech.
The BoE has said most of its policymakers believed a rate hike was likely to be needed in the coming months if inflation pressures continue to build.
