Standard Chartered analyst Saabir Salad now expects the Czech National Bank to
raise rates by 25bp in November 2026 and again in Q1 2027; the firm had earlier
expected no further hikes this year or next. If a 25bp pre-emptive hike in June
is counted, cumulative tightening would reach 75bp and the policy rate would be
about 4.25% by end-Q1 2027.
