The board of directors of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru agreed to lower the reference interest rate—which governs the financial system—to 6.0%, about 25 basis points less than in March, when they decided not to touch it. (6.25%).

According to the issuing entity, the reduction responds to the fact that inflation in year-on-year terms fell from 3.3% to 3.0%—locating itself at the upper limit of the target range.

In addition, they project that year-on-year inflation will continue to decrease and return to the target range in the coming months.

On the other hand, the BCRP board stressed that in March all indicators of macroeconomic expectations reached the optimistic range, although at 12 months, a slight deterioration was observed.
