LONDON (Reuters) - The attacks in Paris are unlikely to have a significant impact on the British or global economy, a Bank of England policymaker was quoted on Monday as saying.

Don Kohn, a member of the BoE's Financial Policy Committee, said the effects of the Nov. 13 attacks by militant Islamists, which killed 130 people, remained unclear but that similar incidents in the past had not had a big economic impact.
