No reason to change rates until 2010 (National Bank of Poland) | 31.08.2009 |
There is no reason to change Polish interest rates until the term of the Monetary Policy Council ends at the beginning of the next year, a council member Andrzej Wojtyna said on Monday.
Wojtyna said that the Council could change the way of easing to neutral because inflation is still alarming and despite worries over the economic growth.
„At the end of the term, there is no reason to change interest rates. The data, at the very best, support the movement to informal neutral tendency, but the Council is divided upon this issue,“ Wojtyna said.
The Council has cut the key interest rate by 2.5% to the record low of 3.5% since November.
