The analysts noted a shift towards a more coherent approach in the Bank's Monetary Policy Report, emphasizing CPI-trim and CPI-median.

"We know that the Bank is currently reviewing its core inflation measures, and we continue to believe that it should pick an exclusion measure for both simplicity and flexibility."
"Due to these developments, we will be paying closer attention to the CPI-trim and CPI-median for the next inflation releases."
