The Central Bank ends 2024 with a new reduction in the monetary policy rate

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - In Brief 30 Dec 2024 by Magdalena Lizardo

At its last monetary policy meeting in 2024, the Central Bank decided to reduce its monetary policy interest rate (TPM) by 25 basis points, lowering it from 6.00% to 5.75% per year. Similarly, the rate for the permanent liquidity expansion facility (1-day Repos) was reduced from 6.50% to 6.25% per year, while the remunerated deposit rate (Overnight) remained unchanged at 4.50% per year.
