- As a reminder, inflation reached a new high of 14.2% in April (vs. 13.3%), up from 12.7% the previous month and continues to diverge significantly from the 3% upper tolerance band.
- This week, CNB Vice Governor Nidetzký mentioned in an interview that the CNB could be near its peak in interest rates, but he cannot predict what will happen in the end of June meeting due to the high uncertainties in markets.
- Nidetzký added that high interest rates should start to affect inflation in 2023 and he expects inflation to move towards the CNB 2-percent target by the end of 2023.
