Economist: Russia's economic difficulties are worsening, the central bank may increase interest rate cuts
-
最新报道：According to the Coinnet report, as inflation slows and government and business concerns about a recession grow, the Russian central bank has room to further cut key interest rates. According to a survey of economists by the agency, Russian central bank policymakers are expected to cut the benchmark interest rate for the second consecutive time at Friday's meeting. Among them, 60% of respondents expect a 200 basis point cut to 18%, one analyst expects a larger cut, and three others predict a cut of 100-150 basis points. Against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, this interest rate decision will set the tone for policy in the second half of the year. Central bank officials are struggling to balance the contradiction between inflation risks and increasing economic weakness. Olga Belenkaya, an economist at Finam Investment Company in Moscow, pointed out: "The Russian Central Bank must respond to the significant slowdown in inflation. Otherwise, rising real interest rates may lead to excessive cooling of the economy and increase corporate financial pressures."
