“To speed up the current pace of cutting, we would need a more significant departure from our projections, data-wise” the Croatian official was quoted as saying. “At the moment we don’t see this, because developments are broadly in line with our projections.”

In an interview published Monday, Vujcic also said:

  • “In circumstances where uncertainties are still elevated, it’s better to move gradually, and this is what we’re doing”

  • In “general, expectations of gradual, meeting-by-meeting cuts are justified by what we see in the data and in our projections”

  • “We are not dependent on the Fed or any other central bank. So I can only say that from what I see now, the near-term expectations of the markets seem justified”
