"Key to see our assumption that we don't see persistence in wage and cost developments."
"If we see developments not consistent with that assumption then we would have to consider further action."
"Inflation could fall below target depending on energy markets."
"As recovery progresses, we are looking for normalisation and inflation returning to target."
