Peru's central bank raised interest rates for the first time since 2023, signaling a shift in monetary policy amid strong economic performance. The move suggests inflationary pressures or a proactive stance to maintain stability, potentially impacting regional investment flows.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised interest rates for the first time in over three years, a confirmed shift towards tightening monetary policy. This action is attributed to elevated energy prices stemming from the Middle East conflict, which are pressuring the rupee and fueling inflation. The move signals a pivot from an extended easing cycle, with implications for growth and currency stability.
