"Lots of reasons why situation now is different to 2022-23."

"Rates are higher, more slack in the economy compared with 2022-23."

"Trade-off for monetary policy could be bigger this time with greater downside risks for the economy."

"Workers and companies might be faster to respond to inflation effects this time."

"Just because household inflation expectations rose, does not necessarily mean we will get second round effects but could signal higher risk."
