The Bank of Papua New Guinea kept the Kina Facility Rate (KFR) at 5.0% at its final 2025 policy meeting. The decision reflects efforts to support exchange rate stability, contain inflation, and sustain growth. Headline inflation is expected to stay moderately elevated due to higher prices in alcohol, tobacco, betelnut, transport, and communication, though core inflation remains contained. Domestic activity remains resilient, driven by agriculture, manufacturing, and minerals, while employment and private sector confidence are improving. The MPC will continue monitoring inflation, exchange rate movements, and liquidity conditions to ensure policy supports price stability and sustainable growth. source: Bank of Papua New Guinea
