In the statement released on the 20th, the same president expressed his desire to keep the policy unchanged until new evidence indicating a recovery path to the 2% inflation target is obtained, based on the assumption that monetary policy is not far from a neutral stance.
Furthermore, he continued by stating, "If the inflation rate remains above 2% for a long time, there is a risk of inflation expectations becoming unstable, which would make it even more difficult to return the inflation rate to the target."
