  26. Monetary Policy Report 1/07 Monetary policy strategy • The interest rate path presented in Monetary Policy Report 1/07 reflects the Executive Board's trade-off between bringing inflation up to target and stabilising developments in output and employment. • In the light of this trade-off, the interest rate will be increased gradually so that we can assess the effects of interest rate changes and other new information about economic developments. • The key policy rate should lie in the interval 4 – 5% in the period to the publication of the next Report on 27 June 2007, conditional on economic developments that are broadly in line with the projections.
