LONDON — The International Monetary Fund has urged the Bank of England to avoid “inaction bias” as it gears up for a key vote Thursday on when to hike interest rates in the face of high inflation.

The Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee surprised markets in November by voting 7-2 to keep its benchmark interest rate at its historic low of 0.1%. Governor Andrew Bailey acknowledged that the “warning signs are there” on inflation, but said policymakers would need to see more data from the labor market to assess the effects of the country’s furlough scheme before tightening policy.

With inflation surging and the omicron Covid variant expected to spread through the region, the European Central Bank has the unenviable task of presenting its policy outlook for 2022 on Thursday.

The rise in the cost of living for the euro area (the 19 nations that share the euro) reached a record high of 4.9% in November, while omicron looks likely to become the dominant coronavirus strain with some European economies already locked down due to the delta variant.

    • Sadly insecurity is still one of the setbacks of crypto adoption. I reckon if all exchanges exhibit this concerted effort and commitment towards preserving the security of users' funds, the industry will be made more conducive and crypto adoption will be fast-tracked.
    • Actually I presume it should be $400M+ by now cos it's one Exchange next to Binance that prioritize their users funds safety imho.
    • This post is majorly for new crypto enthusiasts looking for good exchange to explore however it is also beneficial to those who already have an exchange they are using. Coinmarketcap and Coingecko is one place new users can explore to find out about the ranking of crypto exchanges however one must do other research not to base his/her judgement only on the position the crypto exchange occupies on this platforms. Other factors like user protection fund, proof of reserve and regulatory compliance must be considered before choosing a CEX especially with the evolving regulatory landscape from different countries which have forced some exchanges out of some countries. From the point listed above, Binance and Bitget take the industry lead in protection fund with $1b and $401m respectively and have verifiable Proof of reserve whose public address can be seen and viewed by their users but when it comes to regulatory compliance, Bitget is number 1 as the exchange is operating in most countries where other top cex are not operational. The visit to the respective cex website and mobile app also indicate users interest and popularity of the exchanges. Below is the ranking of top crypto exchanges by weekly visit. The figure below is only for website visit excluding mobile app. It is important to note that this exchanges were not founded the same year hence it's understandable to see clear difference in the number of website visit. HTX and Gateio were founded in 2013, 10 years in the industry. Kucoin, Binance and OKX were founded in 2017 and MEXC, Bitget and Bybit were founded in 2018. The above exchange are all good exchanges for new users to explore. Which of these crypto exchange do you use and why do you choose it over others?
