I suppose the aggregate figures in many ways do not lend to differentiating policy decisions. Some infrastructural investment would actually decrease the restrictions that exist and the tightness of the market in the long run, which would allow for inflation to decrease in that space. Also, workplace planning, trying to get more particular skills into different sectors of society, even bringing home people from Canada and Australia who may have left within the past decade - those types of steps could have a positive effect in achieving policy objectives and not negatively affecting inflation.
