Credibility is laughable right now. As if they want to bring down inflation in the slightest. Keep raising rates you donkeys, something you should have done decades ago.

In that case, instead of raising prices, they could have switched to a different service or good.
E.g. imagine you're selling regular potatoes for $1 / kg. Next month you want to sell them for $10 / kg, but you're not allowed to raise the price, so cast a spell on them and sell enchanted potatoes for $10 / kg. A new, completely different product, so it wasn't a price rise.

And companies respond by saying "so you're saying raise prices 10% to reflect input cost increase and then another 5% to reflect borrowing cost increases. gotcha"
