Executive Summary:
- Seen keeping policy rates unchanged, with a much-needed downtick in inflation helping the board steer clear of further hikes
- Consensus among the sell-side is now building for 7% to be the ceiling for rates over the short-term
- This leaves FX intervention the primary policy tool in the coming months
Full preview here:
August inflation slipped to 17.2% from 17.5%, and was comfortably below the bank’s assumption of a 19.3% clip, and as base effects slip into the calculations, it’s likely CPI will moderate further from here – again the assumption of the majority of the rate-setting members.
Despite the consensus view that price rises could slow from here, a minority of voters on the board still see the risk of inflation expectations becoming contaminated the longer inflation holds above the bank’s 3-percent tolerance band. As such, the bank are unlikely to follow the lead of the Hungarian central bank by ruling out further rate rises this cycle.
