這remit是什麼呢？

同樣留著英國血統的牛津，其字典解釋：

usually singular] remit (of somebody/something)| 

remit (to do something) (British English) 

the area of activity over which a particular person or group has authority, control or influence

e.g.

  Such decisions are outside the remit of this committee.

  In future, staff recruitment will fall within the remit of the division manager.

  a remit to report on medical services

  The group has been given a remit to examine ways of improving the local transport   system.

網路搜尋的中譯：

委任狀（remit letter）

職責

政策豁免

照字典解釋，意思是「職責或職權範圍」，

在此context下，或可將 the BoE remit 代換為 the mandate of the BoE 

e.g. (BBC News)

"George Osborne announced the revision to the Bank's remit..." "Markets were muted over the Bank's new mandate."
