The Bank of England is concerned that the UK's banking system is heading for a third wave of crisis that could snuff out fragile signs of recovery in the economy.
On Thursday the Bank surprised the City by announcing that it would pump an extra £50bn of new money into the economy despite recent stockmarket rallies.
Now the Guardian has learned that this increase in quantitative easing was driven by fears in Threadneedle Street that the credit crunch is still sucking the life out of the British economy and the banking sector remains in deep trouble.

But, 'the big risk is you could see a W-shaped recession. We could see policymakers taking back some of the easing too quickly.'
That is the funniest thing I have heard this year :rotfl: Not a cat hells chance of reversing the monetary easing before the next election.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

I wouldn't say that, 12 months is a long, long time in the current economic circumstances, a couple of months worth of inflation rises for instance could see the bond market fail, thus unleashing Brown's worst nightmare of seeing the BoE having to raise rates, that rate rise will come, it's just a matter of time, and that will dispel any thoughts of a housing market recovery.0 -

If if there is even a sniff of that, expect a snap election
