TASHKENT, May 4 (Reuters) - Uzbekistan's central bank
kept its main interest rate unchanged at 14.0% on Thursday, it
said in a statement, citing decelerating inflation and a strong
economic growth outlook.
The bank hiked the rate from 14% to 17% last year after
Russia invaded Ukraine, destabilising markets across the former
Soviet region. It has since gradually brought the rate down to
the pre-war level and said on Thursday it would next review its
monetary policy on June 15.
