Jamaïque Taux d'intérêt

The Bank of Jamaica held its policy rate at 5.75% during its June meetings, stating the current stance remains appropriate to keep inflation within the 4.0–6.0% target range over the next two years. The decision comes amid global uncertainties, including shifting trade policies, geopolitical tensions, and interest rate movements in major economies. While risks to the inflation outlook are skewed to the upside, inflation has remained stable, with annual headline inflation at 5.2% in May 2025—unchanged from a year earlier—and core inflation at 4.6%. Declining international prices for grains, LNG, and oil have helped ease inflationary pressure, though geopolitical developments could reverse this trend. The BOJ reaffirmed its commitment to price stability and will continue to monitor data closely, ready to adjust policy as needed.
