CI Capital\u2019s Sara Saada echoed Abou El Fotouh\u2019s remarks and told us there\u2019s scope for 200-300 bps in further cuts later this year, \u201cprovided disinflation proves sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next? <\/strong>The MPC said it will continue to assess its policy decisions \u201con a meeting-by-meeting basis,\u201d taking into account the inflation outlook and balance of risks.
