E-mail(Reuters) -Mozambique's central bank cut its main interest rate by 75 basis points on Wednesday, the sixth cut in a row, as inflation remains subdued in the southern African country.
Mozambique's MIMO interest rate was reduced to 12.75% from 13.50%.
Inflation in Mozambique has remained below 3% since July, coming in at 2.68% year on year in October.
The Bank of Mozambique said in a statement that its latest monetary policy decision was consistent with keeping inflation in single digits in the medium term, despite uncertainties linked to post-election protests and their impact on prices of goods and services.
