CNB keeps interest rates unchanged, decides on
interventions
7 Nov 2013
The CNB Bank Board decided at its meeting today to keep
interest rates unchanged. The two-week repo rate was maintained at 0.05%, the
discount rate at 0.05% and the Lombard rate at 0.25%.
The Bank Board also decided to start using the exchange
rate as an additional instrument for easing the monetary conditions. The CNB
will intervene on the foreign exchange market to weaken the koruna so that the
exchange rate of the koruna against the euro is close to CZK 27.
Repo rate: The CNB’s key monetary policy rate, paid on
commercial banks’ excess liquidity as withdrawn by the CNB in two-week repo
tenders.
Discount rate: A monetary policy rate which as a rule
represents the floor for short-term money market interest rates. The CNB applies
it to the excess liquidity which banks deposit with the CNB overnight under the
deposit facility.
Lombard rate: A monetary policy interest rate which
provides a ceiling for short-term interest rates on the money market. The CNB
applies it to the liquidity which it provides to banks overnight under the
lending facility.
