=================CENTRAL BANK GOVERNING BOARD==================

GOVERNOR ZDENEK TUMA, 46 years old, mandate until Feb 2011.

- seen increasingly hawkish as the outlook for demand-pull price growth leads him to reassert his inflation-fighting credentials given his general responsibility for maintaining price stability as the bank's chief executive.

VICE-GOVERNORS:

LUDEK NIEDERMAYER, 40, mandate until Feb 2008.

- seen generally leaning towards hawkish views on inflation; vociferous in his criticism of the lack of political will to push spending reforms to curb a burgeoning fiscal deficit.

MIROSLAV SINGER, 38, mandate until Feb 2011.

- seen tending towards pragmatic policy views; advocate of flexible policy stance; has said he is not afraid of calling for frequent policy changes in order to ensure interest rates are kept as low as possible.

MEMBERS:

MICHAELA ERBENOVA, 38, mandate until Nov 2006.

- has adopted a hawkish tone in recent months; keeps an eye on impact policy stance may have on financial stability; has spoken of general preference for timely rate moves which could avoid sharper and quicker policy response in the future.

JAN FRAIT, 40, mandate until Nov 2006.

- self-proclaimed advocate of accommodative monetary policy and outspoken dove on inflation.

ROBERT HOLMAN, 52, mandate until Feb 2011.
