LONDON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Climate change and countries' varying responses to combating it have an impact on inflation that is directly relevant to central banks, Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann said on Monday.
"The research here points to increased inflation, increased inflation persistence, and increased inflation volatility associated with climate shocks, policies, and spillovers," she said in the text of a speech published by the Bank of England.
Mann was part of a minority of three Monetary Policy Committee members who voted this month for the BoE to raise its main interest rate to 5.5% from 5.25%. (Reporting by David Milliken Editing by William Schomberg)
