LONDON: Bank of England rate-setter Megan Greene said on Thursday that this week’s inflation and jobs data were “good news” from the central bank’s perspective.

“I would put all of this in the category of good news, but I think there are still reasons to worry about the persistence of inflation in the UK,” Greene told Bloomberg Television.
