CZECHIA
CNB Comment on this morning's inflation print:
- Czech September core CPI 2.3% y/y vs central bank's forecast 2.4%.
- Core inflation was slightly below the forecast.
- Fuel prices fell more significantly than forecasted.
- Core inflation is being driven by wage growth in the domestic economy, which is affecting services prices in particular.
- Conversely, the previous protracted decline in domestic demand, due in part to the CNB’s tight monetary policy, is dampening core inflation.
