 THE CROWN: Analysts expect the Czech central bank to use a
verbal intervention against the crown which is close to this
year's record high against the euro. When it was around this
level a month ago, Governor Zdenek Tuma warned the bank would
consider intervening on the foreign exchange market, knocking
down the exchange rate.
