The pull of returning to the office might be "bigger than we anticipate", the Bank of England's chief operating officer said.

"We anticipate that the number of staff in our buildings will increase over time and that – in accordance with a recent study of the personal preferences of Bank staff – staff will average about 3-4 days in the office and around 1-2 days from home," said Joanna Place at a virtual event for the Investment Association on 5 July.
