In the interests of making historical information available to the public, which the CNB regards as part of the process of enhancing monetary policy transparency, the CNB Bank Board has decided to publish detailed transcripts of its monetary policy meetings in addition to the minutes of the meetings. Together with the transcripts, the documents on which the Bank Board’s monetary policy decisions are based – the situation reports on economic and monetary developments – are also being published for the first time. The transcripts and situation reports are available in Czech only.

On its website, the CNB today published the transcripts of Bank Board meetings and situation reports dating from 2000 and 2001. In February, the transcripts and situation reports dating from 1998 and 1999 will be also published.

These documents will continue to be published in the coming years, always in January six years after the Bank Board meetings. Thus, all the transcripts and situation reports dating from 2002 will be published in January 2009, and so on.
