We don't yet know the full economic effect of the policy moves we have already made. In the months ahead, we'll have to watch the data very carefully to make sure that growth is still on track and inflation expectations are well anchored.

Over the period ahead, as the full effects of the sequence of monetary policy moves plays out, I expect that output growth will settle on a path that is somewhat below what we saw in the first quarter, probably growing at close to the economy's potential.

I think monetary policy coming out of the 2001 recession did what it was intended to do, which was cushion the interest-sensitive sectors of the economy, including housing.

And yet Its still moves

We are not proposing economic sanctions at the moment. Mugabe has already imposed the most terrible economic sanctions on his own people by collapsing the Zimbabwean economy.

Good environmental policy is good economic policy.
