The Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia decided to increase the main rate by 200 basis points – up to 15%. The regulator announced this on Friday, October 27.

“The current inflation pressure has increased significantly and is higher than expected by the Bank of Russia.

Lending growth rates remain high,” the report said.

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation raised the inflation forecast for 2023 to 7.0-7.5% from 6.0-7.0%, and also allowed inflation targets to be exceeded in 2024, introducing a forecast range of 4.0-4.5% ( previously – 4%) .

The discount rate is equal to the economic value of money. At this rate, the Central Bank provides funds to commercial banks, which in turn lend to individuals and legal entities. Consequently, the discount rate affects the value of credit sources. An increase in the discount rate indicates an increase in the level of inflation and a decrease in the rate of economic growth in the country.
