TIRANA (Albania), May 6 (SeeNews) – The Albanian central bank has decided to keep its key rate unchanged at 0.5%, as it considers the current stance of monetary policy adequate to support economic growth and for a stable return of inflation to the target, said central bank governor Gent Sejko.

The central bank also decided to keep the interest rate on the overnight deposit facility at 0.1% and the rate on the overnight lending facility at 0.9%, Sejko said in a statement. press release Wednesday.

The pace of economic recovery has accelerated and the economic outlook has improved over the past two quarters. Nevertheless, the economic rebound is incomplete at the current stage and the supporting factors are not yet consolidated, added Sejdo.

“From this point of view, the Supervisory Council believes that the stance of monetary policy must remain accommodative. The monetary stimulus will serve to stimulate consumption and investment, which in turn will fuel the rise in employment, wages and profit margins, in line with our inflation target, ”Sejko said.
