The Central Bank of the Dominican Republic left its benchmark rate unchanged at 5.75% in June 2025, following 125bps in cuts since mid-2024.
The decision reflects rising global uncertainty from geopolitical conflicts and volatile oil prices, as well as persistently high US interest rates amid tariff-related inflation risks.
Domestically, recent liquidity measures are expected to support private sector credit as monetary policy transmission takes hold.
Inflation remained within the 4.0% ± 1.0% target, with headline inflation at 3.84% and core at 4.22% in May.
The central bank projects both to stay within range through 2026.
