Economists suggest the move reflects ongoing concerns over rising prices that have failed to ease despite previous tightening measures. With borrowing costs now at their highest level in over a decade, households and businesses may face further financial strain. The decision underscores the central bank’s determination to prioritize price stability amid economic uncertainty.
