SYDNEY, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Australia's central bank sees unemployment falling a little faster than expected but still doubts core inflation will reach the floor of its 2-3 percent target band until mid-2019, a strong signal that rates won't be rising for a long time to come.

Mark Carney said U.K. interest rates may need to rise at a steeper pace than previously thought to prevent the Brexit-weakened economy from overheating.

The shift in the Bank of England’s interest-rate timetable may have stolen the headlines on Thursday, but the central bank’s Inflation Report also contained other useful nuggets about how policy makers see the economy.

The U.K. can be thankful that world growth is building up steam.

The BOE’s outlook meshes with signs that synchronized global growth will lead to the end of the loose monetary policies pursued by central banks since the financial crisis a decade ago.

Improvements in the economy mean the path for U.K. interest rates is slightly higher than the Bank of England saw in November, according to Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent.
