PrintCzech Central Bank Keeps Rates Unchanged, as Expected
BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 03/19/26 12:31 PM EDT12:31 PM EDT, 03/19/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The Czech central bank (CNB) on Thursday said its board kept interest rates unchanged, with the two-week repo rate at 3.50%, the discount rate at 2.50% and the Lombard rate at 4.50%.
This decision was expected by market analysts, noted ING.
ING said the hold decision was the right response to the oil price shock and heightened uncertainty.
Higher oil and natural gas prices will certainly push consumer inflation higher, and this will put downward pressure on economic performance, added the bank.
