  • Following the announced intended interest rate path was seen as important to instill confidence and avoid creating further uncertainty in financial markets
  • Some members would have preferred not to increase the key rates until the financial market tensions had subsided
  • Members agreed that the elevated level of uncertainty reinforced the importance of a data-dependent approach to future policy rate decisions
