The central bank may raise the key interest rate further if inflation declines at an insufficient pace. This statement was made by the deputy chairman of the Central Bank Alexey Zabotkin.

Zabotkin stressed that the regulator maintains a moderately tough stance on future monetary policy.

gt;- We do not rule out that an additional rate increase may be required, if not at the next meeting, then in the future, if inflation slows down at a different pace than our forecast of 7-8% for this year and 4% for the next. But in general, the required monetary policy brutality has probably been achieved," TASS quoted him as saying.

In general, according to him, prices are currently rising more slowly compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and inflation is taking shape.https://business-magazine.online/fn_1642718.html" Lower than the February forecasts of the regulator.
