Czech c.banker says data show strong econ growth

...on Thursday.

Tuma told a news conference after the bank left rates unchanged after a hike last month that he could not foresee the timing and size of future interest rate moves, but that a July update to the inflation forecast would play an important role.

He said some board members may have feared that voting for another hike in June, just a month after the previous tightening, could be seen as a "panicky reaction".
