Bank of England's strategy 'boosts wealthiest'

Its quantitative easing (QE) programme has increased total household wealth by 16%, or £600 billion, after increasing the value of assets. But it is the richest households - holding around 40% of these assets - that have benefited the most, according to the Bank.
