The monetary policy interest rate remains unchanged

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - In Brief 31 Jul 2025 by Magdalena Lizardo
The Central Bank announced that in August 2025, the monetary policy interest rate will remain unchanged at 5.75% annually. The rate of the permanent liquidity expansion facility (1-day repos) remains at 6.25% annually, while the overnight deposit rate continues at 4.50% annually. The monetary policy interest rate and the 1-day repo rate have remained unchanged since January 2025, while the overnight deposit rate has been maintained since December 2024. This decision is supported by the continued presence of high global uncertainty and tight international financial conditions, although the Bank acknowledges that uncertainty has begun to ease following recent tariff agreements reached between some of its main trading partners. The Central Bank affirms that the Dominican economy has strong fundamentals and a resilient productive sector, which is reflected in a more favorable perception of country risk compared to the average in Latin America and other emerging economies.
