Paraguay: Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP)
Previous Decision: Hold (November 21, 2025)
Key Rate: 6.00% (Monetary Policy Rate)
Summary: The BCP Monetary Policy Committee (CPM) voted unanimously to maintain the policy rate at 6.00%. The Committee noted that inflation remains well-behaved, with headline inflation (4.1% in October) and expectations anchored near the 3.5% target. The decision reflects a pause to monitor the impact of the stronger US dollar and global commodity price adjustments on the domestic economy.

Previous Decision: Cut by 25 bps (November 18, 2025)
Key Rate: 8.00% (Monetary Policy Rate)
Summary: The BCU continued its gradual easing cycle, reducing the rate from 8.25% to 8.00%. The Board cited the sustained convergence of inflation (4.32% in October) toward the center of the 4.5% target range. The move aims to transition the monetary stance from “contractionary” to “neutral” as inflation expectations further align with the target.

Egypt: Central Bank of Egypt (CBE)
Previous Decision: Hold (November 20, 2025)
Key Rate: 21.00% (Overnight Deposit Rate)
Summary: The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) maintained the overnight deposit rate at 21.00%. Despite some acceleration in headline inflation (to 12.5% in October) driven by services and administered prices, the Committee opted to wait and assess the lag effect of previous policies. The MPC reiterated its commitment to steering inflation toward the 7% (±2%) target by Q4 2026.
