Qatar Central Bank cut all three of its key benchmark interest rates by 25 basis points on 10 December 2025, reducing the deposit rate to 3.85%, the lending rate to 4.35%, and the repo rate to 4.10%. The decision was announced in an official statement.
The simultaneous reduction of all three rates maintains the corridor between the deposit and lending rates.
DOLLAR PEG
Qatar's riyal is pegged to the US dollar, a monetary arrangement that has historically led the Qatar Central Bank to calibrate its benchmark rates in close alignment with decisions taken by the United States Federal Reserve.
Qatar Central Bank's statement did not specify the timing or likely direction of the next rate decision.
