"Wage pressures have strengthened further."
"Decisions will continue to be based on our assessment of the inflation outlook in the light of the incoming economic and financial data, the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policy transmission."
"Our rate hikes are being transmitted forcefully to financing conditions."
"Full effects of our monetary policy measures are starting to materialise."
"Effects of monetary policy tightening on real activity and inflation can be expected to strengthen in the coming years."
