Morocco's Central Bank Keeps Key Rate Unchanged at 2.25% as Inflation Stays Moderate

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 09/23/25 10:15 AM EDT

10:15 AM EDT, 09/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Morocco's central bank (BKAM) Tuesday said its Board decided to maintain the key interest rate unchanged at 2.25%.

According to BKAM projections, inflation is expected at 1% this year, remaining virtually unchanged compared with 2024, before accelerating to 1.9% in 2026. Core inflation should decline from 2.2% in 2024 to 1.1% this year, then rise to 2% in 2026.

However, "the Board considers that uncertainties weighing on the economic outlook remain high," added the central bank in its policy statement.

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.
