PRAGUE, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The Czech central bank's policymakers started a regular weekly meeting on Thursday but no monetary policy decisions were on the agenda, a bank spokesman said in a brief statement without giving any further details.
The announcement was as expected. The central bank is next officially scheduled to review policy on Oct. 26.
The bank raised its main policy rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 2.50 percent last week to keep price pressures under wraps amid a revival in consumer spending and fiscal loosening in the booming economy.
Financial markets have bet on one more similar rate increase before the year-end. ((Reporting by Marek Petrus; Editing by Alan Crosby; Reuters Messaging: rm://marek.petrus.reuters.com@reuters.net; e-mail: prague.newsroom@reuters.com or marek.petrus@reuters.com; Tel: +420 224 190 477))
