Matt Roberts-Sklar

Matt is currently Head of Sterling Markets Division in the Markets directorate of the Bank. Sterling Markets Division is right at the heart of the Bank’s mission, with responsibilities ranging from running the Bank’s sterling balance sheet and bond portfolio, to informing and implementing monetary policy, providing liquidity to the financial system and administering the UK’s risk-free rate.

Matt has previously held Senior Management positions in the Bank’s Market Intelligence and Analysis Division and in the Bank’s Capital Markets Division. In these roles, his focus was on combining a deep understanding of financial markets and the Bank’s policy toolkit with cutting edge analytics and research to influence policy.

Matt’s research interests include understanding policy tools e.g. QT, and understanding evolving financial market structures and instruments, e.g. liquidity in fixed income markets.

Prior to joining the Bank in 2007, Matt obtained an MMath in Mathematics from the University of Warwick (including a year studying at the University of Bonn), and an MSc in Economics from the LSE.
