Jakub Seidler: Interest rates should remain unchanged at the next meeting

Bank Board member Jakub Seidler would keep interest rates unchanged at the next meeting due to persisting inflation risks. In an interview with Bloomberg, he stressed the need for a cautious approach given uncertain global developments, trade conflicts and persisting upward price pressures in the services sector. In his view, it would be appropriate to maintain a slightly restrictive monetary policy in the current environment until these risks subside.
