PRAGUE, May 3 (Reuters) - Fiscal policy and wage
developments were the main arguments for Czech central bankers
supporting a possible interest rate, Governor Ales Michl said on
Wednesday after the board voted 4-3 to keep policy stable.
He said the board will wait for more data and then will
decide on policy stability or a rate hike at its next meeting.
The dissenters voted for a 25 basis-point increase in the
repo rate, which stands at 7.0%, and there were even calls of a
larger increase, Michl said.
