Monetary Policy Stance
Medium-term forecasts are based on the framework that a
cautious approach will be adopted to make the
improvement in inflation outlook permanent and the tight
monetary policy stance will be maintained by keeping the
yield curve flat.
It is assessed that the annual loan growth rate will continue
to hover around the recent reasonable levels in 2015, also
thanks to the macroprudential measures.
