SUMMARY
  • Activity data have kept skewing towards surprising resilience. Price and wage inflation drive current policy decisions, but activity is critical to the outlook.
  • The resilience of GDP growing near its potential pace means the current effective policy setting doesn’t look that tight. Neutral rates may be near pre-GFC norms.
  • Policymakers can wait for evidence that cyclical excesses have gone before turning to relatively small and late cuts. Policy hysteresis only compounds this pressure.
