"We have to raise rates to levels that will deliver our 2% medium-term inflation target."
"If we were to see, for example, inflation becoming more persistent and expectations being at risk of de-anchoring, we would need to take additional actions."
"We are seeing a faster and stronger pass-through of these shocks into prices."
"Historical evidence suggests that we should not expect slowing growth to make a significant dent in inflation."
"We are likely to see wages catching up to some extent with higher inflation."
