The latest Outlook Report provides, in the form of charts, the aggregated probability distributions compiled from the distributions attributed by individual Policy Board members to the likelihood of divergence upward or downward from their forecast, with the aim of providing more detailed and visual descriptions of the level of risks to the forecast.
Each chart shows a bell-shaped distribution with the most likely projection forming the top of the curve. The charts are called Risk Balance Charts, since they indicate how the risks are distributed around the central view and how the distributions are skewed.
