在政府决定重启其耗资巨大的降低加油站燃油价格计划后,10月通胀放缓,货币政策委员会因此维持利率不变。这帮助将整体价格涨幅从9月的4.1%降至3.5%,处于央行目标区间的上限。
The MPC is staying pat on rates after inflation slowed in October in the wake of a government decision to restart its costly program to reduce fuel prices at the pump. This helped to curb headline price growth to 3.5%, the upper end of the central bank’s target range, from 4.1% in September.
这一决定作出之际,波兰政治紧张局势不断升级,格拉平斯基也被卷入其中。这位行长面临议会投票,可能导致其被停职。此类风险已导致兹罗提下跌,本周兹罗提兑欧元汇率触及三年低点。
The decision comes amid escalating political tensions in Poland, which have ensnared Glapinski. The governor faces a parliamentary vote that could lead to his suspension from office. Such risks had contributed to a slide in the zloty, which hit a three-year low against the euro this week.
总理唐纳德·图斯克及其议会多数派指责格拉平斯基在2023年大选前进行政治干预,行长对此坚决否认。他还驳回了对其涉嫌不当行为的调查,称其毫无根据,并表示没有他,货币政策委员会和央行都无法继续履行职责。
Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his parliamentary majority have accused Glapinski of political meddling before the 2023 election, charges which the governor vehemently denies. He has also rejected the investigation into his alleged wrongdoing as baseless, saying that neither the MPC nor the central bank can continue carrying out its mandate without him.
