Russian central bank holds rates at 16% after months of tightening

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
Russia's central bank has decided to keep its key interest rate at 16%, maintaining borrowing costs unchanged for the time being. Despite five consecutive rate hikes since last summer, inflation pressures persist, and the central bank stated that returning inflation to its 4% target would require "tight monetary conditions... for a long period." The bank's next rate-setting meeting is scheduled for March 22.
