63
Bank of Russia announced the next lowering of the key rate. The previous decrease in the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation carried out 14 June 2016 of the year. Since then, the rate was 10,5%. Thanks to the new reduction, the key rate will lose another 0,5 percentage points and will be exactly 10%. The report of the financial regulator notes that the credit policy on the basis of the new key rate will be implemented from the upcoming Monday - September 19.
The Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia 16 of September 2016 of the year decided to reduce the key rate to 10,00% per annum, given the slowdown in inflation in line with the forecast and the decrease in inflation expectations, while maintaining unstable economic activity.
When deciding on a key rate, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia proceeded from the following.
The first. Inflation has decreased markedly, which corresponds to the Bank of Russia baseline forecast. It is estimated that the annual consumer price growth rate declined to 6,6% as of September 12 2016, after 7,2% in July.
Second. The Bank of Russia expects that the decision taken at the key rate and its maintenance at the reached level will lower inflationary expectations.
The third. The continued revival of manufacturing activity remains volatile. It remains heterogeneous across industries and regions. The labor market adjusts to new economic conditions, unemployment remains at a stable low level.
Fourth. There are still risks that inflation will not reach the target level of 4% in 2017. This is due mainly to the inertia of inflation expectations and the possible weakening of household savings incentives.
The report says that the key rate at the level of 10% per annum will remain until the end of 2016. If no additional negative factors are identified during this time, the rate will decrease next time at the beginning of 2017.
