  • We have various options in our tool kit to support the economy if additional easing is required 
  • A jobless rate of well above 5% would almost certainly indicate that we are some way from closing the output gap sustainably
  • Shortfall in activity vs likely post-pandemic path for potential output once temporary effects fade is large now; unlikely to close in next few quarters
