The monetary policy rate will remain at 5.25% per year, according to the Central Bank's decision adopted today. The rate on the permanent liquidity expansion facility (1-day repos) remains at 5.75% per year, while the rate on remunerated deposits (overnight) continues at 4.50% per year. The Central Bank also reported that the Dominican economy grew by 3.5% year-on-year in January 2026. It indicated that it is confident economic activity will continue to gain momentum and projects growth of around 4.0% for 2026, driven by the expansion of the external sector, favourable monetary conditions, and the recent dynamism of government capital spending. It also expects that, despite year-on-year inflation standing at 4.98% in January, it will converge toward the midpoint of the 4.0% ± 1.0% target range by the end of 2026. According to the Central Bank, the Dominican economy has strong fundamentals and a resilient productive sector, which is reflected in a low level of country risk perception.
