  • Low inflation and stronger growth underpin shift to policy consolidation

 

RABAT, MOROCCOMorocco’s central bank on Tuesday held its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.25%, signalling a pause in monetary easing as inflation remains subdued and economic growth gains momentum.

In a statement after its final policy meeting of 2025, Bank Al-Maghrib said the current stance was appropriate, consolidating an easing cycle that has reversed much of the tightening introduced during the inflation surge of 2022.
