This represents the eighth steep rate hike since October 2021, when the interest rate stood at 1.5%. In a statement, BCCh stated the decision was due to the continued volatility of international financial markets. The bank noted that inflation continued to rise, with annual inflation standing at 13.1% in July, up from 12.5% in June.
