But inflation is well-contained and gives the central bank "more room to react to a slow recovery, should it unfold," he said.

translation:
redefined inflation (CPI, highly politicized hedonic formula) remains under control for now

destination of the unprecedented 30% monetary inflation since Jan2001 has to date been directed largely where desired, e.g. support of stock market, extension of consumer debt financing of consumer spending, military and security spending, and replacement of burned capital from debt collapse

it must be nice to redefine a concept (inflation), then declare it under control
more perverse is to convince the public on the new definition
I wish human viruses behaved the same way
if sexual relations were redefined in the same way, the men in our population would all be married to pornshop owners

the following are an indirect result of debt extension abuse:
the stock market slides, consumer overspending, debt collapse

so the cure for the monetary abuse is more credit extension, otherwise known as monetary abuse

housing starts showed deep foundation cracks today
the economy is built on sand
