Hungaryâs central bank unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate, the European Unionâs highest, for the first time since 2005 after inflation slowed. Policy makers, led by the central bankâs governor, Andras Simor, left, cut the two-week deposit rate a quarter-point, to 7.75 percent, after holding it since October. A leveling of wage growth also persuaded rate setters to lower borrowing costs, Mr. Simor said. Hungaryâs annual inflation rate has quadrupled in the last year as Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsanyâs government raised taxes and utility bills. Inflation excluding food and energy prices slowed for a second month in May, and an easing of pressures in the labor market reduced concern that prices would rise faster than the inflation target in the medium term.
