Key takeaways

"I think the burden of proof needs to lie in inflation persistence continuing to wane."

"Data released ahead of our next meeting will give a clearer indication of how far along the last mile we have come."

"While I think excess labour hoarding has faded from its peak, it still poses a two-sided risk to our outlook."
