Uzbekistan Cuts Key Rates by 100Bps to 15%
Uzbekistan's central bank slashed its policy rate by 100 bps to 15% on July 21st 2022 following a rate cut by the same margin in early June, bringing interest rates to the lowest level since February. The move came as policymakers sought to spur economic activity in the country, which expanded at the slowest pace in a year in Q1 of 2022, amid mounting global headwinds, including the prolonged war in Ukraine. At the same time, inflation in Uzbekistan remained manageable, staying within the central bank's target range of 12-14%. Official data showed the annual inflation rate accelerated to a near 23-month high of 12.20% in June from 10.95% in May, with food prices rising further on the back of soaring commodity prices.
