Following the meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee on March 30, 2026, the Central Bank of the Republic of Guinea (BCRG) decided to ease its monetary policy by lowering its key interest rate by 25 basis points, now set at 9.50%.

The BCRG's decision aims to facilitate access to credit and support economic activity. By reducing its main rate, the BCRG seeks to encourage banks to lend more to businesses and households, in a context marked by sustained economic growth, estimated at 6.8% in the fourth quarter of 2025. According to the BCRG, this orientation comes as inflation continues an upward trend, reaching 4.4% in January 2026. A level still under control, but one that calls for vigilance.
