Seychelles Monetary Policy Rate
In January 2019, the Central Bank of Seychelles' monetary policy framework transitioned from reserve money targeting to an interest rate-based framework whereby the focus of monetary policy shifted from indirectly influencing the intermediate target of money supply growth to guiding short term interest rates. This was done through the introduction of a Monetary Policy Rate (MPR). Until then, the Central Bank of Seychelles did not define a benchmark interest rate.
