4/ My two cents:

1️⃣ #EconomicForecasting is challenging.

2️⃣ Forecast evaluation is crucial for identifying areas for improvement.

3️⃣ Model-consistent forecasts of the policy path are preferable to inconsistent assumptions based on market expectations.

3/ Gertjan Vlieghe (Millenium):

1️⃣ Recent forecast errors stemmed from large shocks, not model failures.

2️⃣ Clear central bank communication is vital for #MonetaryPolicy.

3️⃣Scenarios must be carefully selected and paired with suitable conditioning policy paths.

2/ Petra Geraats (Cambridge):

1️⃣ BoE should publish a Forecast Evaluation Report (like the OBR).

2️⃣ Fan charts effectively convey uncertainty.

3️⃣ Market expectations of the policy path are inconsistent with alternative scenarios.

1/ Charlie Bean (LSE):

1️⃣ BoE should adopt a formal and open forecast evaluation process (like the OBR).

2️⃣ Market expectations are the best conditioning assumption for policy paths.

3️⃣ Keep fan charts—they complement scenario analysis, not replace it.
