Key takeaways

"Incoming data on wages and profits have been in line with expectations."

"Negotiated wage growth will remain high and volatile over the remainder of the year."

"We will also look at the possible enhancements of the existing analytical toolkit, including forecasting techniques."

"A gradual approach to dialing back restrictiveness will be appropriate if the incoming data are in line with the baseline projection."
