October 27, Fineko/abc.az. According to a report by Fitch Solutions, a member of the Fitch Group, the discount rate in Azerbaijan is projected to decrease to 6% at the end of 2026, 5.88% in 2027, 5.44% in 2028 and 5.66% in 2029.

The agency notes that the Central Bank of Azerbaijan will pursue a cautious monetary policy in 2026-2027, and during this period inflationary pressure will gradually weaken.

At the same time, regional geopolitical risks and supply chain disruptions amid the war between the U.S. and Iran have increased price pressure, slowing down the interest rate reduction process initiated by the Central Bank in December 2025.

The discount rate is currently 6.5%. The CBA will announce the next decision on the parameters of the interest rate corridor on October 29, and the last one this year on December 23.
