Scotiabank Previews This Week's Policy Meeting at Peru Central Bank

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 08/11/25 11:28 AM EDT

11:28 AM EDT, 08/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Peru's central bank (BCRP) is due to announce a third consecutive rate hold on Thursday as soft inflation -- due to accelerate a touch in H2 -- is offset by solid economic fundamentals to leave officials with little reason to cut, said Scotiabank.

However, "never write off" a BCRP surprise, noted the bank.

Macro conditions suggest the Peruvian economy is likely exceeding its growth potential, with no evident headwinds from tariff risks and seemingly completely desensitized to the "now usual" political noise -- and not too concerned with next April's elections, stated Scotiabank.

"It's steady as she goes at 4.50% over the forecast horizon to 2026," added the bank.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
