SBV decides to raise policy rates
SBV on Thursday decided to raise several policy rates for the first time since 2012 following the Fed’s decision of a 100bps rate hike. Besides, the central bank has significantly increased the T-bill offering with higher winning yields to ensure the new interest rate corridor would be effective. This decision implies that money market interest rates would be persistently high this year to counter the capital outflow due to a stronger DXY.
