Rupal Patel
Rupal Patel and Jack Leslie are economists at the Bank of England and work as advisers to the committee who set interest rates. Rupal spends most of her time thinking about inflation and now and then writes books about economics. Jack is focused on understanding the UK economy, which means charts, spreadsheets, and more charts.
Founded in 1694, the Bank of England is the UK’s central bank, responsible for setting interest rates, running the country’s payments system and regulating the financial sector - or in other words, making sure that money works. Over the last decade, the Bank’s staff have been on a mission to get outside the City of London and promote economic literacy across the UK: whether by delivering talks in schools, running Citizens’ Panels on people’s economic experiences, or publishing the bestselling primer on economics Can’t We Just Print More Money?
