Bank of England, Haskell: The vaccine is a light at the end of the tunnel:

  • We note the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the economy;

  • It is too early to tell if the vaccine will be able to improve the Bank of England GDP forecast for 2021;

  • If the economy recovers with the help of the vaccine, Brexit`s impact may be long term;

  • We still have enough policy tools.
