The Monetary Council of Narodowy Bank retained its record low 2.5% reference interest rate. From 4.75%, such was cut by 225 basis points in eight moves to its present level between November 2012 and July 2012. A 25-bp cut in July was the most recent rate change, and a statement accompanying today’s decision extended the likely policy pause from the end of this year by six additional months to mid-2004.
