STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSWARSAW - Polish Deputy Finance Minister Artur Sobon hopes the zloty will stabilise as there is no fundamental reason for it to weaken, he told catholic radio on Thursday.
Poland's currency has been in rapid descent, dropping 4% after Polish rate-setters unexpectedly slashed borrowing costs by 75 basis points last week, although it rebounded slightly on Wednesday. "There is no reason in the real economy for this type of phenomenon to continue any longer. ... I want to emphasize that the government is very keen on the exchange rate stabilizing'" Sobon said.
"... an exchange rate between 4.4 and 4.6 , is the optimal rate because, on the one hand, it fits into the logic of falling inflation, and at the same time ... it allows the economy to develop." The deputy minister also said that the government may use liquidity tools to stabilise the situation. He did not provide other details.

Fed to leave rates unchanged on Sept. 20; cut unlikely before Q2 2024: Reuters pollThe Federal Reserve will leave its benchmark overnight interest rate unchanged at the end of its Sept. 19-20 policy meeting and probably wait until the April-June period of 2024 or later before cutting it, according to economists in a Reuters poll. Fed Chair Jerome Powell underscored the 'higher-for-longer' mantra for rates in a speech at the annual Jackson Hole central banking symposium in August and maintained another rate hike might still be needed to bring inflation down to the 2% target. But other members of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), including some of the more hawkish ones, have raised the possibility of holding off on another rate hike to allow more time to gauge the impact of the cumulative 525 basis points of tightening delivered by the Fed since March 2022.
