TABLE-Czech c.bank gives new CPI/GDP forecasts

    Oct 26 (Reuters) - The Czech central bank released 
on Thursday the following inflation and growth forecasts as part 
of its quarterly update of macroeconomic projections. 
 
CONSUMER INFLATION           SEPT 2007             MARCH 2008 
 CPI (pct chng y/y)           2.8-4.2               3.5-4.9 
 
GDP                             2006                2007               2008

    NOTE. Brackets denote previous GDP forecasts published in July. The previous 
July inflation forecast pegged the annual CPI at 2.8-4.2 percent in June 2007 
and 3.3-4.7 percent in December 2007. 
    The central bank always forecasts inflation for 12-18 months ahead, the time 
it believes it takes for monetary policy decisions to filter fully through the 
economy.
