Mozambique’s central bank reduced its benchmark lending rate for the sixth consecutive meeting as inflation lingered near a 2015 low and the regulator tries to spur an economy that’s forecast to expand at the slowest pace in 18 years.

The Monetary Policy Committee cut the benchmark interbank rate, known by its Portuguese acronym MIMO and introduced in April 2017, by 75 basis points to 15.75 percent, Banco de Mocambique Governor Rogerio Zandamela told reporters Wednesday in Maputo, the capital. It held the permanent lending facility at 18 percent.

Mozambique’s economy is struggling in the wake of a foreign debt crisis, even as higher prices for its biggest exports, coal and aluminum, help bolster foreign exchange reserves. The country halted payments on its external commercial debt in 2016 and is in restructuring talks with creditors.

Consumer prices rose 3.3 percent in May from a year earlier, according to the statistics agency. In April, inflation was 2.3 percent, the weakest since August 2015. The MPC next meets on Aug. 30.
