CNB Members Speak At Discussion Forum In Pardubice
CZECHIA
- CNB Governor Ales Michl delivers a keynote speech at a discussion forum hosted by a university in Pardubice from 08:10BST/09:10CEST. Two other members of the Bank Board will appear at the conference later in the day. Deputy Governor Eva Zamrazilova will speak on a panel at 08:45BST/09:45CEST, while Bank Board's Jan Prochazka will speak at 10:15BST/11:15CEST.
- CNB's Tomas Holub told Reuters that the central bank doesn't need to accelerate rate cuts beyond the pace of 50bp/meeting, which is a "good compromise" after new arguments in favour of a cautious approach emerged. Holub was one of the two dissenters seeking a 75bp cut at the most recent meeting. This comes after Jan Prochazka last week argued against accelerating monetary easing.
- Top military commanders from the V4 countries (Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary) will meet in Prague to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
