"Recent negative surprises in PMI manufacturing output indicated potential headwinds to the near-term outlook."

"Therefore, needed to be carefully monitored whether inflation would settle sustainably at the target in a timely manner."

"The risk of delays in reaching the ECB’s target was seen to warrant some caution to avoid dialing back policy restriction prematurely."

"Foreign demand was showing signs of weakness, with falling export orders and PMIs."

"Core inflation and services inflation might be stickier and not decline as much as currently expected."

"Since the cut-off for the projections, Eurostat had revised data for the latest quarters."

"It was generally considered that a recession in the euro area remained unlikely."

"It would sometimes be appropriate to ignore volatility in oil prices."

"Too early to declare victory."

"Disinflationary process was on track."

"Baseline path to 2% depended critically on lower wage growth as well as on an acceleration of productivity growth."

"Inflation had recently been declining somewhat faster than expected."
