What changed

The CNB Bank Board voted to maintain existing interest rate levels at its February 5, 2026 meeting. All three key policy rates—the two-week repo rate (3.50%), discount rate (2.50%), and Lombard rate (4.50%)—remain unchanged from the prior period. This rate hold signals no adjustment to monetary policy in either direction.

Affected parties including banks, borrowers, and investors should note that borrowing costs and lending conditions are expected to remain stable in the near term under the current rate environment. No immediate action is required as the CNB has elected to maintain its existing policy stance.
