October 29, Fineko/abc.az. The Central Bank of Azerbaijan has kept the discount rate at 6.5%, leaving the parameters of the interest rate corridor unchanged, the lower limit of the interest rate corridor is maintained at 5%, the upper limit is 7.5%.

This decision of the Central Bank is based on maintaining macroeconomic and financial stability in the country, keeping actual and projected inflation rates in the target range (4±2%), as well as analyzing the position of structural liquidity in the banking sector.

The stabilization of inflation expectations on the part of the regulator and the excess of supply over demand in the domestic foreign exchange market led to the maintenance of current monetary policy parameters.
