Set by the Board (Правление) of the Central Bank at eight scheduled meetings a year, in pursuit of a 5% medium-term inflation target.

What this value means
CBU homepage widget (https://cbu.uz/en/, verified 2026-09-02) prints Policy rate 14 percent from 29.07.2026 -- that is the date this series serves. The 29 July 2026 Board meeting was a HOLD at 14 percent (https://cbu.uz/en/press_center/releases/4256855/). The last actual change remains the 0.5 pp increase 13.5 to 14.0 decided 20 March 2025 and commencing 24.03.2025; every subsequent meeting has held 14. DIRECTION CHECK -- no movement for sixteen months: last change was an INCREASE. Uzbekistan is NOT a high-nominal-rate/high-inflation pair like its Central Asian neighbours: 14 percent is held against annual inflation of 6.4 (June 2026), i.e. a real policy rate near 7.5 pp, which the CBU describes as deliberately tight. NEXT DECISION: 16 September 2026. 2026 meeting calendar: 28 Jan, 18 Mar, 29 Apr, 17 Jun, 29 Jul, 16 Sep, 28 Oct, 16 Dec (https://cbu.uz/en/monetary-policy/refinancing-rate/schedule-of-meetings/). Do not confuse the policy rate with the legacy refinancing-rate wording that still appears in the CBU URL path (/monetary-policy/refinancing-rate/) -- the instrument was renamed and the page is about the policy rate. ACCESS NOTE: the CBU policy-rate landing page publishes the history only as an xlsx download, not as HTML; the homepage widget is the live print of the current level and from-date. Remaining 2026 rate meetings: 16 September, 28 October, 16 December.
