Abstract: This paper studies as to what asset price can tell us about the evolving credibility of the monetary policy of the Czech National Bank (CNB). The focus of our analysis is to examine the effect of changes in the two-week repo rate (the official interest rate) on short and long–maturity market interest rates. Argument relies on information asymmetry and the existence of a stationary stochastic equilibrium with full knowledge of authorities reaction function.
