Macroeconomic Forecast and CNB's Policy
Decision
- Current forecast published on November 5, 2020.
- CNB's last policy decision meeting on December 17, 2020.
- New forecast along with monetary policy meeting due on February 4, 2021.
Monetary Policy Decision
At its meetings on November 5, 2020 and December 17, 2020, the
CNB's Board unanimously kept interest rates unchanged.
The two-week repo rate thus remains at 0.25%, the discount rate at 0.05%, and the Lombard rate at 1%.
Consistent with the forecast is stability of market interest rates initially, followed by a gradual rise in rates in the course of 2021.
The Bank Board assessed the risks and uncertainties of the forecast in the context of the ongoing second wave of the pandemic as remaining very substantial.
