“We need to set ourselves the objective of bringing inflation down to a new record low. The Central Bank is set to keep inflation from rising above 7.5%. This will be no easy task, given the rates we had early this year, but it’s not unrealistic. If achieved, this rate will be the lowest since 1991. And by 2014, we should try to bring it down further to 4-5%.”
