Additional comments

Election had no influence on rate decision.

Mid-point of inflation target band is 2.5%, have expected rates to get back to that sort of level.

Have open mind on how fast rates need to rise.

Reasons to believe inflation will start to moderate.

Do not need these emergency rate setting anymore.
