By Peter Laca 捷克通胀在上个月加速超过预期，此前中央银行警告称，可能需要收紧货币政策来抑制价格上涨。
Czech inflation accelerated more than expected last month after the central bank warned that tighter monetary policy may be warranted to tame price growth.
根据捷克布拉格统计局周二发布的闪灰预估，9月消费价格同比上涨2.5%。该数据高于彭博调查的2.4%中位数预期，并超过中央银行对当月的2.2%预测。
Consumer prices rose 2.5% from a year earlier in September, according to a flash estimate from the Prague-based statistics office released on Tuesday. The headline figure was above the 2.4% median estimate in a Bloomberg survey and also exceeded the central bank’s 2.2% projection for the month.
policymakers 在过去两次会议上保持基准利率不变，此前6月进行了一次0.25个百点加息，但警告称，如果国内压力仍然强劲且高能源价格持续，他们可能会进一步收紧货币条件。官员们表示，他们将在11月5日的下一次会议上决定是提高借款成本还是保持稳定。
Policymakers left the benchmark interest rate unchanged at the past two meetings, after a quarter-point increase in June, but warned they may tighten monetary conditions “slightly further” if domestic pressures remained strong and high energy prices persisted. Officials have said they will decide between lifting borrowing costs or keeping them stable at the next meeting on Nov. 5.
尽管初步数据显示通胀在过去四个月首次超过中央银行的2%目标，但并未包含完整的细分数据。密切关注的服务价格增长加速至4.6%，从8月的4.5%。
While the preliminary data showed inflation breached the central bank’s 2% target for the first time in four months, they didn’t include a full breakdown. Growth in the closely watched services prices quickened to 4.6% from 4.5% in August.
中央银行官员们主要关注的是高位的核心通胀，该指标排除了波动性大的项目如食品和能源。主要上行风险包括服务成本上升、房地产市场、工资增长以及更多政府债务融资支出的前景。核心价格指标将于下周发布。
Central bankers are chiefly concerned about elevated core inflation, which excludes volatile items like food and energy. The main upside risks include rising costs of services, the housing market, wage growth and prospects of more government spending financed by debt. The core price measure will be published next week.
