CNB keeps interest rates unchanged

At its meeting today, the CNB Bank Board kept interest rates unchanged. The two-week repo rate (2W repo rate) thus remains at 7%, the discount rate at 6% and the Lombard rate at 8%. The Bank Board also decided that the CNB will continue to prevent excessive fluctuations of the koruna exchange rate.
