Inflation is now as well as its been since 2009. Jobs have been raided a parade of 60004. Month the economy is growing at its fastest paid in six years. For the first time on time you don't

Nearly one million more people were out of work than in the years before the financial crisis. Many others in part time work would prefer to be working full time. Real wages might yet increasing with. In the economy remains to have percent smaller than a worse in 2008. A strong and sustained recovery is needed to put 
 people back in work into use up the slack but still exist in the economy. A sustained recovery requires a revival of business investment. So far the upswing in growth has been driven by modest recovery in consumer spending and revival in housing investment. That's not surprising. We can expect to see strong export demand from the UK's major trading partners. And business investment typically takes time to pick up during recovery. Eventual recovery in business investment will be supported by continuing 
 improvement in credit conditions as a banking system gains in strength. And by reduced uncertainty about future prospects. A recent surveys of investment intentions have been encouraging.

When the threshold is reached. The MPC will certain policy to balance the outlook for inflation against the need to provide continued support. To the recovery in output and employment. As one illustration of the potential trade offs from here the MPC's projections conditioned on the alternative assumption. The bank rate is held constant
