And what good would it do for us anyway? Without a variable-rate mortgage - no impact. Increase economic activity would mean even faster price increases.

Would be better to wait until inflation is truly under control (near 2% for multiple consecutive months)
Optimistic but it happened.

We'll see in a few weeks what, if any, impact that has on inflation.
