Kyrgyzstan’s central bank held its benchmark interest rate at 9% for the sixth consecutive time, citing stable inflation and continued economic recovery. Inflation is expected at 5.2% in November 2024, down from 7.3% in January. The bank expects inflation to remain in its target range of 5-7% in the medium term to support price stability. Meanwhile, real GDP grew by 9.6% as of October 2024, driven by domestic demand and investments.
