Rationale

Lowering the policy rate by 100 basis points reduces borrowing costs for households and firms, directly stimulating business investment and consumer spending. With inflation at 2.5% (within the 2% target band's upper tolerance), this moderate easing supports GDP growth without risking price stability.
