During a press briefing, Bailey pointed out that while the inflation rate in services has decreased more than expected, certain factors like GDP 'weakness' are influenced by both demand and supply sides. These factors, according to Bailey, are unpredictable and require a careful approach to interest rate adjustments.

"It is crucial to adopt a gradual strategy when easing interest rates," Bailey emphasized. He highlighted the importance of being 'careful' to navigate through both domestic and global uncertainties effectively.
