I appreciate the answer, but I am trying to see if there is any quantitative analysis in the contribution cost-push inflation has had. Can we say that 30% of the inflation that now exists stemmed from restrictions in the aggregate supply of goods into the sector. That has a number of policy results. If it is significantly cost-push an interest rate increase is less useful and more punitive.
