Czech Central Bank Keeps Rates on Hold, as Expected

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 09/24/25 10:43 AM EDT

10:43 AM EDT, 09/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Czech central bank (CNB) Wednesday said its Board kept interest rates unchanged, as expected.

The two-week repo rate (2W repo rate) remained at 3.50%.

All seven members of the Board voted in favor of this decision.

"Today's decision aims to stabilise headline inflation close to the 2% inflation target in the long run," wrote CNB in its policy statement. "This requires growth in the quantity of money in the economy not to accelerate excessively and credit growth to remain moderate."

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
