Key passages
The Monetary and Financial Stability Committee has decided to raise the policy rate by 0.25 percentage point to 4.25 percent.
The policy rate forecast presented in March indicated an increase in the policy rate to between 4¼ percent and 4½ percent by the end of the year. The policy rate path thus implied the potential need for further tightening of monetary policy later this year.
