WARSAW: Poland's central bank on Friday kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low of 1.50 percent, in line with the expectations of analysts polled by Reuters.

The central bank, which ended an easing cycle in March last year, also kept its lombard rate flat at 2.50 percent, the deposit rate at 0.50 percent and the rediscount rate at 1.75 percent.

The bank's rate-setting Monetary Policy Council will hold a news conference at 1400 GMT.
