Alex Golledge, the Bank of England’s Agent for Yorkshire will join us to discuss the Bank’s latest Monetary Policy Report due to be published in early February 2026. This quarterly report provides the Bank’s most up-to-date economic analysis and inflation projections, which inform interest rate decisions.

We’re delighted to welcome Alex back for another off-the-record, informative update, where he will explain the Monetary Policy Committee’s recent decisions and share insights on inflation, growth, pay, and employment.

For over 20 years, the Leeds Business School Economic Prospects Lecture is one of the region’s most anticipated business events. Hosted by Virgin Money, with an introduction from John Bullock, Head of Strategic Finance Yorkshire & North East, the session will conclude with a Q&A chaired by Olga Munroe from Leeds Business School.
