The central bank should leave interest rates unchanged for a seventh month in April because the weakness of the forint poses no threat to inflation for now, central bank monetary policy maker Péter Bihari said following remarks by Central Bank Governor Zsigmond Járai, who on 8 March said the NBH may raise the benchmark two-week deposit rate – Bloomberg reported.
The announcement is interesting in the light of recently rising global borrowing costs, which were mentioned to be watched closely before the next base rate meeting on 24 April.
