BoB leaves interest rates unchanged
Thursday, April 22, 2010

In an e-mailed statement, BoB spokesman Chepete Chepete says the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) met on Tuesday and decided to again leave the bank rate unchanged at 10 percent because the current state of the economy and the assumptions on both the domestic and external economic outlook, as well as the inflation forecast, suggest that "maintaining the prevailing interest rates is consistent with the achievement of the Bank's 3 - 6 percent inflation objective in the medium-term".
