    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Bureau of Reclamation has announced a new interest rate of 3.00% for fiscal year 2025, to be used by federal agencies in planning and evaluating water and land resources. This rate, which is higher than the previous year's rate of 2.75%, reflects changes based on the average yield of long-term U.S. Treasury securities. All government agencies must apply this rate for calculating future benefits and costs in such planning efforts. This change ensures consistency with federal rules that set limits on rate changes from year to year.
