Argentina's Central Bank (BCRA) this week lowered the benchmark interest rate by another 10 percentage points to 60% annually, it was reported in Buenos Aires. It was the fourth such cut since Javier Milei took office on December 10, 2023, when the rate stood at 133%. "BCRA announces that as of 04-25-2024, the rate for 1-business-day maturity passive operations will be 60%," it said in a statement. It was also the second 10-point cut in April alone.
