“We also believe the monetary policy stance will change. When the underlying fundamentals become supportive, if the pace of this inflation becomes adequate and we see inflation at projected levels I am very optimistic that the monetary policy committee may begin to see the strong justification for an easing of monetary policy which may further accelerate economic recovery process through reduced interest rate”, Emefiele said.
