Criticism
In September, 2010, Bean received criticism in the British press after he explained the Bank of England's policy of reducing household saving levels, saying "what we’re trying to do by our policy is encourage more spending; ideally we’d like to see that in the form of more business spending, but part of the mechanism that might encourage that is having more household spending".[1]
