mpc: 27 The Committee's best collective judgement was that the key risks to the central projection
related to: the outlook for consumer spending; the prospects for net exports; the sustainability of low
long-term interest rates; the margin of spare capacity; the evolution of energy prices and their impact
on inflation. There was a range of views among members, but the Committee judged that, relative to
the central projection, the overall risks were to the downside for growth and broadly balanced for
inflation.
