A Bank of England chief has sparked outrage by suggesting pay rises for struggling folk in the cost-of-living crisis are too high.<\/p>\n

Top economist Huw Pill, who earns \u00a3190,000 a year, reckons recent pay rises across Britain could risk fuelling inflation. He spoke out after official figures showed civil service bonuses helped to push pay growth to a two-year record.<\/p>\n

The Oxford grad, right, said growth of 7.7% in average salaries was \u201cnot consistent\u201d with the Bank\u2019s target of 2% inflation. Mr Pill\u2019s comments come after Bank of England bosses got called hypocrites in July after giving staff \u00a325million in bonuses while urging pay restraint.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cBut actually over the summer pay growth has remained very strong and we certainly wouldn't see pay growth of that rate as consistent with achieving the 2% inflation target on an ongoing basis. If you ask me where I think the sort of risk to the risks is, it's probably still on the fact that we may be seeing more momentum and more persistence than really is ideal to get us back to the 2% inflation target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Serwotka, leader of civil service union PCS, claimed the Bank\u2019s continued call for wage suppression is a key reason behind the \u201ccatastrophic collapse\u201d in living standards. He said: \u201cImproving wages is vital to combat the crisis people are suffering. Improved pay in the public sector would have a knock-on effect of creating growth in the economy that this country so desperately needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
