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

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 11/11/25 12:03 PM EST

12:03 PM EST, 11/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Peru's central bank (BCRP) is widely expected to leave its reference rate unchanged at 4.25% on Thursday, said Scotiabank.

BCRP delivered a hold message at its last meeting and has been backed by solid economic activity and business optimism, noted the bank.

BCRP has been trying to fight currency strength that dates back to March/April by buying US dollar (USD) and selling sol (PEN) in the spot market, stated Scotiabank. The currency's rise may add downside to already low inflation of 1.4% year over year.

At risk is whether the central bank seeks to weaken the currency with a surprise rate cut, added Scotiabank.

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.
