Speech by Sir David Ramsden, Deputy Governor for Markets and Banking of the Bank of England, at the Society of Professional Economists Annual Conference, London, 28 September 2018.
Introduction
It's an honour to be invited to talk here for the Society for Professional Economists (SPE) today, and I'm very grateful to Bloomberg for the opportunity to speak again in their fantastic HQ. Although I've spoken many times at the Society's events over the years either in my previous role at the Treasury or in in my ongoing role as President of the SPE this is the first time I've spoken at the Society in its new guise as the Society for Professional Economists and in my role as the Bank of England's Deputy Governor for Markets and Banking.
