> ECB and the British central
bank lower key lending rates
- The European Central Bank cut the key lending rate on 6
October by 50 basis points to 3.25%. The move by the Bank of England (BoE) was
even more dramatic: It cut the key lending rate by 150 bps from 4.5 percent to 3
percent. The financial markets had expected a large step by the British currency
guardians. However, the size came as a surprise, even for experts. The cut by
the ECB was estimated at precisely 0.5 percent. The Swiss National Bank (SNB)
also lowered the key lending rate by 0.5% today. (APA, 6 Nov 2008)
> Erste Bank does not perceive any risks in Eastern Europe
– Erste Group Bank does not yet perceive any effects of the financial crisis in
Eastern Europe: "The interbank markets in CEE are still functioning well, and
the CEE banks are proving better at raising primary funds than West European
banks, and the creditworthiness of investment firms is still stable,” stated
Erste Bank. “The fears regarding the credit crunch in CEE are unfounded from a
fundamental standpoint in our opinion. The banks in CEE are not affected by the
sub-prime crisis and are therefore not forced to make any write-offs.”

> Fed lowers key lending rate to 1 percent
– The US Fed lowered the key lending rate on 29 October by 50 bps to one percent.
This interest rate cut is another move by the Fed to fight the threatening
recession in the US. Already at the beginning of October, it had lowered
interest rates by half a percentage point in a concerted action taken with other
major central banks. Based on statements by ECB Chief Jean-Claude Trichet,
experts firmly believe that the ECB will lower its reference rate again from
3.75% on 6 November.
