Central bank holds key rate steady as inflation cools to 3.1%
Policymakers left the benchmark rate unchanged for a third straight meeting, signalling patience as price growth eases toward target.
The central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged on Monday for a third consecutive meeting, citing cooling inflation that fell to 3.1% last month, closer to its medium-term target.
The monetary policy committee said it would stay data-dependent, leaving the door open to cuts later in the year if price pressures continue to ease. Equity markets edged higher after the announcement.
