The board of directors of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) agreed to maintain the reference interest rate at 6.25% for March of this year.

The decision not to reduce the reference rate was due to “transitory” inflation as a result of the increase in the prices of some foods, beverages and water rates in February.

The issuing entity expects that year-on-year inflation – now at 3.3% – will continue to decrease and reach the target range – between 1% and 3% – in the coming months.

Likewise, they announced that in February there was a recovery in most economic indicators but in expectations, the majority remains in the pessimistic range.
