Czech cbank: only Vice-Gov Hampl to miss Feb 3 mtg
PRAGUE |
PRAGUE Jan 27 (Reuters) - Six of the seven Czech central bank governing board members will attend the Feb. 3 rate-setting meeting, with only Vice-Governor Mojmir Hampl expected to be absent, the bank said on Thursday.
The key two-week repo rate has been at record low 0.75 percent since May, after a 28-month long easing cycle in which the bank reduced borrowing costs by a total of 300 basis points.
Most analysts expect the bank to keep rates unchanged until a tightening in mid-2011. (Reporting by Jason Hovet; Editing by Toby Chopra)
