The bank see inflation projections above the upper limit of the tolerance band for 2022 and around target for 2023, while the conflict in Europe adds further uncertainty to the outlook. The bank added that a significantly restrictive policy cycle is appropriate, and that they are ready to adjust the size of the cycle if needed.
