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 0.25%, the discount rate at 0.05% and the Lombard rate at 1%.

A press conference for accredited journalists attended by Governor Jiří Rusnok will be held at 3.45 p.m. in the Small Hall of the CNB Congress Centre (entrance from Senovážné náměstí).

Accredited journalists must confirm their attendance at the press conference by e-mail (media@cnb.cz) or telephone (+420 224 412 013) by 3 p.m. today.

Given the preventive measures to counter the spread of COVID-19, attending journalists must present a negative test for COVID-19, a COVID-19 vaccination record or documentation of recovery (positive test result dated no more than 90 days ago). Media representatives who have none of these documents will be asked to take an antigen test at the CNB. In this case, they will be required to arrive no later than 3.15 p.m.

All persons present in the CNB premises must wear a respirator.
