As has happened under different circumstances, any movements of the exchange rate away from the trend assumed as a working assumption is possible in a floating regime, and its potential effects on the financial system, output or employment will be considered by the Board as inputs for their future decisions. Summarizing, for the rest of this year, annual CPI inflation is expected to return to figures around 3% to then move to the upper limit of the tolerance range for some months. This short-term trajectory is influenced by one-time effects, which will eventually revert, permitting inflation to hover around 3% throughout 2011 and to the end of the relevant projection horizon, this time the third quarter of 2012. Y-o-y CPIX1 inflation will describe a more gradual convergence to 3%, largely because the shorter-term effects on inflation are concentrated in items outside the CPIX1. Private expectations are not very different from this (figure 10). The Board estimates that it will continue withdrawing the monetary stimulus at a pace that will depend on how domestic and external macroeconomic conditions unfold. This process of MPR normalization was begun in June and continued in the meetings of July and August – with increases of 50 basis points each time – taking the MPR to 2% y-o-y. Going forward, the market has internalized a process of withdrawal of the monetary stimulus in the coming quarters. This is consistent with the progressive normalization of credit conditions, which is visible in various markets and indicators.
