[W]hen I was studying monetary theory in the early 1990s, I never thought I’d have to explain quantitative easing to 6 million people watching the 10 o’clock news. At the end of a long day, even pronouncing ‘quantitative easing’ consistently can be a challenge… I call it ‘dumbed-down highbrow’. I don’t always manage it, but it’s very satisfying when you feel you have said something that the experts would recognise, but the ordinary viewer can understand.

This is actually my favourite thing about my job. Although I’m very glad that monetary policy is only a (albeit the most difficult) part of it.
