The National Bank of Hungary (MNB) raised the rate for its one-week deposit facility by 30 bp to 6.75% ahead of a tender on Thursday, according to a report by state news wire MTI.
The increase followed a decision on Tuesday by policymakers to raise the central bank's base rate by 50 bp to 5.9%.
The 30 bp rise for the one-week deposit rate matched that of the previous hike a month earlier, days after the MNB rate-setters' April policy meeting.
After the May policy meeting, on Tuesday, deputy governor Barnabas Virág had flagged a continuation of the monthly one-week deposit rate increases at an unchanged pace.
MNB's Monetary Council said in a statement released after the Tuesday meeting that the base rate will "gradually catch up" to the one-week deposit rate "in the coming months".
