The Board of the Central Bank decided to maintain the monetary policy rate at 0,25% in July. The Bank renewed its commitment to maintain a strongly expansive stance for a prolonged period and placed emphasis on its efforts to provide liquidity to the market.

Key points

  • Key points:
  • The monetary authority expects inflation to dip below the target range this and next year.
  • Our baseline scenario contemplates the monetary policy rate remaining at this level at least until the end of 2021, given the expected impact of the coronavirus crisis on economic activity.
  • We do not rule out additional non-conventional measures to further expand the monetary stimulus or foster the transmission of the current low level of the policy rate to the financial system’s rates.
