Central Bank keeps banks’ reserve requirement at 12.5%
ORANJESTAD - The Central Bank of Aruba (BCA) has decided to maintain the reserve requirement for commercial banks at 12.5%, effective July 1, 2026. The decision was taken during the Monetary Policy Committee meeting on June 15.
According to the BCA, Aruba’s foreign exchange reserves remain well above the required levels and are expected to remain adequate throughout 2026.Inflation also remains relatively low. In April 2026, inflation compared with the same month a year earlier stood at 0.8%, while average annual inflation was 0.2%.
However, the BCA warns that global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions could affect both foreign exchange reserves and inflation.
The Central Bank will continue monitoring the economy and will adjust its monetary policy if necessary to protect the fixed exchange rate between the Aruban florin and the U.S. dollar.
