Peru central bank keeps reference rate at 4.25% in March 2026
Peru’s central bank maintains its 4.25% reference interest rate, citing stable inflation and supportive growth conditions as drivers of its March 2026 monetary policy decision.
Peru’s Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) has opted to hold its reference interest rate at 4.25% in its March 2026 monetary policy meeting. The decision reflects an assessment that inflation remains within the target range while the economy continues to show solid growth momentum. The BCRP highlighted that low and well‑anchored inflation, coupled with positive external conditions and resilient domestic demand, justify maintaining accommodative financing costs. The bank also noted that the inflation outlook remains broadly balanced, with no immediate need to tighten policy. By keeping rates steady, the BCRP aims to support investment and consumption while preserving price stability over the medium term.
