BoE's Pill criticises Truss government for lack of cooperation

LONDON (Reuters) - Bank of England Chief Economist Huw Pill on Tuesday delivered a thinly veiled criticism of the lack of cooperation between the government of outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss and the country's other economic institutions.

Speaking at an Office for National Statistics conference, Pill lauded cooperation between the BoE and official statisticians.

"That's a model for how macro policymakers in the UK should respect the institutional framework when they interact with one another," Pill said.

"In my view, we might have benefited in recent weeks if the interactions amongst other institutions had followed that pattern."
