MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUE — Mozambique’s central bank has paused its monetary easing cycle, holding its benchmark rate steady amid rising global risks and mounting inflation pressures.

The Bank of Mozambique said on Monday it would keep its benchmark MIMO rate unchanged at 9.25% following the second Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the year, marking the first pause since January 2024.
