The report notes accelerated domestic inflation in the second quarter, remaining relatively high despite gradual deceleration, and resilient economic activity with solid growth in banking sector deposits and loans. In the second quarter of 2026, the National Bank increased the policy rate by 0.25 percentage points, raising it to 4.25%.
