It relies upon if — all the time the large phrase ‘if’ — if the inflation knowledge continues to return in prefer it has been. If we don’t, if we get a shock like we did final yr, then we’re going to have to remain on maintain till we get inflation coming again down. However I’m optimistic that this disinflationary pattern will proceed and we’ll get again nearer to 2% somewhat faster than possibly others are pondering.”
