THE BOARD of the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) voted unanimously June 27 to leave key interest rates unchanged.
The NBS already raised key rates by 0.5 percent last month, and, according to NBS governor Ivan Šramko, is ready to intervene if inflation worsens.
Inflation has been rising since January and hit a high of 4.8 percent in May.

One year after the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak, large protests took place around Slovakia.
More than 420 journalists have signed the statement issued exactly one year after the murder of Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová.
International journalists’ organisations are “cautiously optimistic” after meeting investigators of the Kuciak murder.
These are the notable moments of the first year since the murder.
