Poland leaves key interest rates steady

WARSAW, Poland, March 31 (UPI) -- The Polish central bank left its key interest rate unchanged at 5.25 percent Wednesday but warned of a possible future change in policy.

Traders and analysts had not expected a change in the 14-day intervention rate because previously reported inflation figures had come in better than expected. February consumer price inflation was just 1.6 percent.

The central bank, however, said it could not rule out the possibility of a rate rise at its next meeting in April. The central bank gave no further details.
