PRAGUE, Dec 7 (Reuters) - The Czech central bank (CNB) board ended a regular weekly meeting on Thursday, a CNB spokeswoman said, without making any further statement from the session which had no monetary policy decisions on its agenda.

CNB policymakers are next due to review interest rates at a monthly session on Dec. 20, with markets betting any interest rate increase will be delayed until the first half of 2007, after 75 basis points worth of rate hikes since October 2005.

Thursday's board meeting was the first since last week's arrival of two new members -- Mojmir Hampl and Vladimir Tomsik -- to the seven-seat body which sets monetary policy and also oversees financial markets in the European Union member country.
