Interest-rate announcement
Current interest rate level: 4.00%
• In favour of an interest-rate cut of 25 bp:
- • sentiment indicators point to weaker growth
- • weaker growth will lead to a more moderate inflationary pressure
• In favour of unchanged interest rates:
- • inflation is still significantly above the central bank’s target of 2% (inflation at 3.6% y-o-y in March). See chart 1
- • the rising oil price helps maintain the upward pressure on inflation
Market expectations: unchanged interest rates
Jyske Bank’s expectations: unchanged interest rates
