Interview with Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane

15 Jun 2021

Andy Haldane, who has joined Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) as an Honorary Professor, discusses how productivity, skills and devolution are key to the levelling up agenda

Andy Haldane

Having built up long-established links over many years with both our University and AMBS, Andy Haldane says taking up the offer of an Honorary Professorship was in many ways a very logical move.

As he says: “Both the reputation of Manchester and my friendship with colleagues here made this a very obvious decision. My whole career has been rooted in public policy and while at the Bank I have always tried to ensure that public policy ideas were rigorously rooted in the very best of academic thinking.

"The very best in practical public policy tends to play off the very best in academic thinking.”
