The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates held the Base Rate on its Overnight Deposit Facility at 3.65% following the US Federal Reserve’s decision to keep the Interest on Reserve Balances unchanged, reiterating that the Fed-anchored rate signals the stance of domestic monetary policy. After three consecutive 25 bp reductions between September and December 2025, the Base Rate now remains steady at 3.65%. The central bank also maintained the standing credit facility rate at 50 bp above the Base Rate, preserving the corridor that provides an effective floor for overnight money-market rates in the UAE.
