The Central Bank will announce the year’s second interest rate decision on Thursday, February 6, at 14:00. Economists stated that the CBRT’s hand has eased after the inflation data came below expectations. It is expected that the CBRT’s policy rate will be reduced by 250 basis points to 42.5 percent.
