mpc: 27 Overall, the data suggested that output growth had recovered from the trough at the beginning of
2005 and was now close to its historical average; there was some, but not much, spare capacity in the
economy; and inflation was close to the target. The outlook was, on balance, for continued growth
near trend and inflation close to target. In the light of those considerations, for most members it
seemed appropriate to leave the repo rate unchanged.
