MAWHINNEY: John, the single most important thing about an economy that grows is a government that gets inflation down and keeps inflation down and reassures people of its commitment to keep inflation down.
MAWHINNEY: And other countries did as well and it is worth remembering that that period in the ERM was because we were using that as a mechanism to drive down inflation.
