Dominican Republic Central Bank holds inflation target range
The Central Bank of the Dominican Republic reports that annual inflation remains within the government's target range after a marginal CPI increase in February 2026.
The Central Bank of the Dominican Republic (BCRD) announced that the Consumer Price Index rose by a marginal 0.03% in February 2026, maintaining annual inflation at 4.67%. This keeps inflation firmly within the official target band of 4.0% ± 1.0% for 34 consecutive months, underscoring ongoing macroeconomic stability. The board highlighted that the slight easing from January’s 4.98% reflects controlled price pressures despite external risks, including volatile energy markets and geopolitical tensions affecting fuel and food costs. Monetary authorities reaffirmed their commitment to price stability and signaled that policy rates may remain on hold if inflation continues to track within the target range through the first half of 2026.
