捷克国家银行连续第二次下调主要利率至6.25%，以支持陷入困境的经济。 The Czech National Bank has reduced its key interest rate for the second consecutive time, bringing it down to 6.25% in an effort to support the struggling economy. 此前，12 月 21 日降息半个百分点，这是自 2022 年 6 月以来的首次降息。 This follows a half-percentage point cut on December 21, the first cut since June 2022. 尽管降息，捷克经济在 2023 年最后三个月仍较上年收缩 0.2%。 Despite the rate cuts, the Czech economy contracted by 0.2% in the last three months of 2023 compared to the previous year. 通货膨胀率已从 2022 年的 15.1% 降至 2023 年的 10.7%，但仍高于央行 2% 的目标。 Inflation has decreased to 10.7% in 2023 from 15.1% in 2022, but still remains above the bank's 2% target. 由于担心通胀，欧洲央行和美联储等其他主要央行尚未做出降低借贷成本的决定。 Other major central banks, like the European Central Bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve, have yet to make decisions to lower their borrowing costs due to concerns about inflation.
