PRAGUE, Feb 13 (Reuters) - The Czech central bank can
hold interest rates at current levels if the economy develops as
expected and inflation continues to moderate, although debate on
a possible hike remains, Vice-Governor Jan Frait was quoted as
saying on Monday.
Frait, in an interview with newspaper Pravo published on the
bank's website, also said inflation would ease into the single
digits in the second half of the year. He also reiterated
interest rates would stay higher for longer.
