Polish central bank cuts key interest rates by half percentage point
Wed May 29, 6:05 AM ET

WARSAW, Poland - Poland's central bank, which has faced persistent government pressure to slash interest rates to boost the sagging economy, said Wednesday it was reducing key rates by half a percentage point.


The decision means the National Bank of Poland has cut interest rates by a total of 6 percentage points since Prime Minister Leszek Miller took office last October, but the government said the bank could make "much more radical" cuts.

The bank trimmed its benchmark 28-day intervention rate to 9 percent from 9.5 percent. The discount rate was cut to 10.5 percent from 11 percent and the so-called Lombard rate to 12 percent from 12.5 percent.
