Central Bank of Tunisia Maintains Key Interest Rate at 7.50%
The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) met on July 30 and decided to maintain the key interest rate at 7.50%.
This decision is made in a context marked by progressive disinflation, although still fragile. Inflation, although decreasing, remains above 5%, according to a statement published on the BCT's official website.
On the international front, economic and financial risks remain high due to geopolitical and commercial tensions, which continue to fuel uncertainty about growth prospects and the evolution of international commodity prices and inflation.
The room for maneuver for central banks to pursue monetary easing has significantly decreased recently, giving way to caution regarding interest rate adjustments, according to the BCT.
