すえおき
noun
leaving as is; deferment; keeping unchanged
1. leaving as is; keeping unchanged; maintaining the status quo
Keeping something at its current level or state without changing it. Most commonly used for interest rates, prices, taxes, or policies that are maintained rather than raised or lowered.

The interest rate was left unchanged.
価格(かかく)()()きで販売(はんばい)(つづ)ける。
To continue selling at the same price.
中央銀行(ちゅうおうぎんこう)政策金利(せいさくきんり)()()きを決定(けってい)した。
The central bank decided to keep the policy interest rate unchanged.

From the verb ()()く (to leave in place). Very common in financial and economic news. Common collocations: 金利(きんり)()()き (unchanged interest rate), 価格(かかく)()()き (price freeze), ()()期間(きかん) (grace period, deferment period — e.g., before loan repayment begins). Often appears as a compound modifier: ()()(がた) (stationary type, as opposed to portable).
