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.

Reminds me of when Zimbabwe made inflation illegal.

In 2007, the government declared inflation illegal. Anyone who raised the prices for goods and services was subject to arrest.

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.

That's not how pricing works. LOL
