But strong wage growth and profit growth are slowing the downward path of core inflation, led by increases in the service sector particularly.

Nominal wage growth is expected to continue over the next couple of years, but by smaller increments than previously seen, Lane said, with wage negotiations for 2024 a key indicator.
