PRAGUE, March 22 (Reuters) - Inflation should slow to
single digits before the Czech central bank can cut interest
rates and rate cut bets for 2023 may be overdone, Vice-Governor
Eva Zamrazilova was quoted as saying in an interview with
Bloomberg news agency.
"I won't even think about interest-rate cuts until inflation
slows to single digits," she said in the interview published on
Wednesday.
"We definitely won't start lowering rates until we see some
easing of these persistent economic imbalances stemming from the
tight labor market and loose fiscal policy."
