捷克央行11年首次干预汇市 加入全球货币战

为抑制本币升值，捷克央行7日货币政策会议决定今后将入市购买欧元，这是捷克十一年来首次干预汇市，正式加入全球货币战。

捷克央行宣布决定后，捷克克朗对欧元应声下跌3.2%，创四年来最大跌幅。

捷克央行会议声明称，将力保捷克克朗兑欧元的汇率接近27。

同时，捷克央行还宣布国内主要利率均不变，两周回购利率维持在技术上看接近于零的水平：0.05%。

CNB keeps interest rates unchanged, decides on interventions

7 Nov 2013

The CNB Bank Board decided at its meeting today to keep interest rates unchanged. The two-week repo rate was maintained at 0.05%, the discount rate at 0.05% and the Lombard rate at 0.25%.

The Bank Board also decided to start using the exchange rate as an additional instrument for easing the monetary conditions. The CNB will intervene on the foreign exchange market to weaken the koruna so that the exchange rate of the koruna against the euro is close to CZK 27.

Repo rate: The CNB’s key monetary policy rate, paid on commercial banks’ excess liquidity as withdrawn by the CNB in two-week repo tenders.

Discount rate: A monetary policy rate which as a rule represents the floor for short-term money market interest rates. The CNB applies it to the excess liquidity which banks deposit with the CNB overnight under the deposit facility.

Lombard rate: A monetary policy interest rate which provides a ceiling for short-term interest rates on the money market. The CNB applies it to the liquidity which it provides to banks overnight under the lending facility.
