Adam S. Posen says the Bank of England could more effectively stimulate an economic recovery if it were willing to purchase private sector assets. Posen states, "I have no question in my mind that what we're doing with QE [quantitative easing] is preventing things from getting much worse, but that doesn't mean you couldn't have an additional or better instrument."

Posen Says BOE Should Go Beyond Conventional QE to Fight Slump
