Early next month…the Central Bank will hold a meeting to discuss interest rates
The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank will hold its second meeting during the year 2026 on Thursday, April 2, headed by Hassan Abdullah, Governor of the Central Bank, in order to review and determine interest rates on deposits and lending in light of developments in economic conditions locally and globally.
This meeting comes after the committee held its first meeting during the year on February 12, 2026, when it decided to reduce the overnight deposit and lending rate by about 100 basis points, in a step aimed at supporting economic activity and keeping pace with changes in economic indicators.
The Monetary Policy Committee periodically follows developments in inflation rates and economic growth, in addition to the movement of global markets and geopolitical challenges that may affect the Egyptian economy, before making its decisions related to interest rates.
