The sterling effective exchange rate index (ERI) had been flat over the past month, but had fallen
by around 1% since the time of the November
Inflation Report. Looking back over a longer period,
sterling had been broadly stable within a fairly narrow range. The dollar had appreciated over the past
month against both the euro and yen. The movement in the dollar-euro exchange rate was perhaps a
little surprising given the upward shift in longer-term euro-area interest rates.
