𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄: The Monetary Policy Committee has decided to increase the CBR to 8.25 percent. The Committee considers this level appropriate to help steer headline inflation back toward 5 percent over the medium term. It also noted that upside risks to the inflation outlook at the global, regional, and domestic levels require close monitoring and continued policy caution. The MPC will continue to monitor economic conditions closely and is committed to ensuring a return to the 5 percent inflation objective in the medium term.
