In brief: Peru raises interest rates
* Peru’s central bank (BCRP) has raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 7.25%, in response to continued high inflation. In a statement explaining the rate hike, the BCRP noted that, whilst annual inflation decreased from 8.53% in September to 8.28% in October, this remains significantly higher than the bank’s target range of 1-3%. More broadly, the BCRP noted that “most of the forecasts and expectations about the economy remain pessimistic”.
