Scotiabank Sees Peru's Central Bank Holding Rates At 4.25%

06:50 AM EST, 12/31/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Peru's central bank (BCRP) will be the only central bank holding a policy meeting next week, said Scotiabank.

BCRP's decision on Jan. 8 is expected to be another hold at a reference rate of 4.25% for a fourth straight meeting, noted the bank.

The consumer price index, which is due on Thursday, is unlikely to alter the pattern of readings in the lower half of the 1%-3% target range, stated Scotiabank.

Key is that economic growth remains strong, as indicated by the monthly activity index that continues to grow at around 3.5% year over year, added the bank.

All Fixed Income News

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.
