Putin states that the key interest rate will follow inflation downward

The country’s financial authorities will respond to the decrease in inflation by changing the key interest rate, stated the President of Russia during a meeting with the Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

In his report to the president, the governor communicated that a slowdown in investment growth is anticipated in the Nizhny Novgorod Region in 2025. He attributed this to a reduction in investment demand caused by the high key interest rate.

– It will not last forever, inflation is decreasing, I believe the financial authorities will respond accordingly, — he stated.

It is worth noting that a financier predicted this at the end of August. The national currency may strengthen amid the passing of the tax period.
