And that it is about to lift its labour market and wages outlook, from yesterday’s statement:
The outlook for the labour market remains positive. With the economy growing above trend, a further reduction in the unemployment rate is expected to around 4¾ per cent in 2020.

The improvement in the economy should see some further lift in wages growth over time, although this is still expected to be a gradual process.
