ON ASSESSMENT OF RISKS TO CPI OUTLOOK:
"The board took a simple stance on the inflation prediction: The risks are skewed in the anti-inflationary direction.
"The main uncertainties (to the forecast) are definitely on the anti-inflationary side."
ON CROWN FIRMING TO RECORD HIGHS:
"Expectations (in the market) are apparently set for a further firming (of the crown), but it is difficult to find economic mechanics explaining why the crown should continue firming.
"If there is a sharp firming or a weakening in the crown ... it is not irrational to expect the exchange rate could correct."
