Armenia's Central Bank maintained its key interest rates at a June 16, 2026 meeting, keeping the refinancing rate at 6.50%, the Lombard Repo Facility Rate at 8.00%, and the Deposit Facility Rate at 5.00%.

The decision to hold rates unchanged reflects the central bank's current monetary policy stance. The refinancing rate serves as a benchmark for Armenia's broader lending environment and influences borrowing costs for businesses and consumers across the economy.

The central bank regularly reviews these rates to balance economic growth with price stability. The announcement comes as Armenia continues navigating regional economic conditions and domestic financial developments.
