Key quotes

Structured finance transactions are unlikely to be negatively affected, but risks will depend on the factors driving any outcome above our forecasts.

Recent lockdowns mean that growth this year will be lower than the robust levels we had previously projected, but we still expect inflation to pick up sharply.

The labor market has tightened much faster than we had expected, and wage-growth acceleration presents upside risks to inflation, meaning that monetary policy may be tightened further and faster than we project in our baseline assumptions.
