MNI NBH Preview - May 2022: NBH To Slow Down Tightening Stance
Executive Summary:
- The National Bank of Hungary (NBH) is likely to slow down the pace of its policy tightening and hike its ‘core’ policy rate by 50bps on May 31, which would levitate the benchmark rate to 5.9%.
- The central bank is also likely to proceed with a 30bps in the 1W depo rate after pausing at 6.45% in the past month.
- As inflation remains partly driven by external factors outside of the monetary policy realm, Hungarian policymakers have been trying to stick with monthly intervention on the 1W depo facility as hiking too aggressively is not likely to have any ST impact on HUF and would also accelerate the economic slowdown.
Link to full preview:
The National Bank of Hungary (NBH) is likely to slow down the pace of its policy tightening and hike its ‘core’ policy rate by 50bps on May 31, which would levitate the benchmark rate to 5.9% (highest since November 2012). The central bank is also likely to proceed with a 30bps in the 1W depo rate after pausing at 6.45% in the past month.
Even though inflationary pressures remain elevated in the CEE region and the political uncertainty combined with the renewed geopolitical tensions have been constantly weighing on HUF, NBH policymakers have been signalling a potential slowdown of base rate hikes recently, with Deputy Governor Virag recently specifying that the central bank needs to slow the tightening stance on the base rate to about 50bps (from 100bps hikes in the previous two meetings). Virag added that the NBH does not need double-digit base rate even though the headline inflation is expected to exceed 10% in the months ahead.
