Mozambique central bank leaves policy rate unchanged

March 23 (Reuters) - Mozambique's central bank left its main interest rate MZMIMO=ECI unchanged at 9.25% in a decision announced on Monday.

The Bank of Mozambique said at its last rate-setting meeting in January that it was nearing the end of an easing cycle.

At the time the Southern African country was reeling from severe floods, and the U.S.-Israel war against Iran has further ratcheted up risks to the economic outlook.

Annual inflation MZCPIY=ECI stood at 3.20% in February, up slightly from 3.04% in January.
