The central bank lowered the key rate

95
Bank of Russia went to the next reduction in the key rate. The bar has been lowered by an additional 0,5 percentage point and is now 7,75%. Officially, the decision to reduce the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation comes into force on Monday 18 December.

From the statement of the press service Central Bank of Russia:
The Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia 15 December 2017 of the year decided to lower the key rate from 8,25 to 7,75% per annum.




The previous key rate indicator (indicated by 8,25%) was “held up” from October October of the current year.

The central bank lowered the key rate


On such a decision as lowering the base rate by 0,5%, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia went due to the fact that the inflation rates are significantly lower than the target ones. If you believe the reports of the same Central Bank, then the rate of inflation at the moment in annual terms is about 2,5%. At the same time, 4% was determined as a target indicator at the beginning of the year.

Following the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia, the press conference is held by the head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina.

        And those who paid, lousy, it turns out? This "write-off" will lead to such a shaft of defaults that the current debts will appear to be minuscule. Everyone will wait for the next write-off. And who will pay the payments for the first child? Marginals who will drink this money. If this is called state policy, then I feel sorry for this state.

                        At the entrance to the city there is a Barrow of Glory, there used to be a Table: “With a sound signal, honor the memory of those who died for their homeland.”
                        Where is she? A couple of years ago ..., I turn on the signal, I turn my head towards the Barrow, "I Give Honor" .., and what I see, "Eternal Fire" does not burn ..?!

                        I get the torch! And all in civilian clothes ... Poking around in the baggage carrier, where is the bbb ..., this fishing camouflage? Found! acceptable to the event ..
                        Ignited the improvised “Torch” and, as taught by the “parade,” bending “to one knee,” lit the “Eternal Flame” on the “Barrow of Glory”.

                You know, wisdom, it is convoluted, not wrinkled. There is nothing more stupid than reproaching the interlocutor with his youth. I remind you that, for example, in the traditions of the Russian fleet, it was always possible to listen to opinions starting with junior officers.

                As for your post, like many others, I don’t understand why accepting PERSONAL INDEPENDENT Does someone require a decision to be raked by the state for him?
                Did someone from your acquaintances take a foreign currency loan, chasing after momentary profit? So what did the Central Bank force them? No, they decided for themselves.
                You’re trying to make an opponent on the subject of age, and you yourself are demonstrating kindergarten logic: I’ve got it right here, save Mom. Your friends got into loans themselves, right?

                And then, now there are many loan refinancing programs. Your friends do not know about them?

                PS
                What would you know: the Central Bank refinancing rate affects the price of a commercial loan very weakly. Even if you drop it to 0, commercial banks will not give you money for free. Because they are COMMERCIAL.

Now, according to the Constitution, he is independent, comparable to the branch of power. Is it proposed to subordinate it to the Government or Parliament? It is clear that many are against it, since it will be necessary to change the very concept of its work, from the regulator to make it a credit organization. But what about the porridge being cooked?

        The Central Bank is independent of the state of Russia, but dependent on the IMF. Whose orders he carries out as a regulator.

          Cool judgment. :) Actually, for once, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation showed independence, moving from exchange rate regulation to inflation targeting. This just caused the disapproval of the IMF, which has one recipe for both the plague and the common cold - keeping the exchange rate and reducing the state. expenses.
          Probably, it was possible to "support" the ruble. True, as a result, we would have to drastically reduce the gold reserves and, therefore, depreciate the ruble. It only resembles a vicious circle or a system with positive feedback. :)

          Yes, an injection into the banking sector was practically worthless. But for this, the Central Bank punished commercial banks very revealingly.

            It was necessary not to “pour in”, but simply to limit the withdrawal of capital from Russia. For several days, commercial banks moved their ruble resources into foreign currency and thereby finished off the ruble, after which they restored the ruble balances at a low price and, in short, welded.
            And the Central Bank told everyone tales about the price of oil, which fell to 30. Now it is already 60 - and that the ruble has grown? (everyone shut up amicably ...).
            The “foreign” investors (from offshore) who invested at an expensive ruble, but made a profit at a cheap one, were punished. Their capital was connected and could not be converted to currency.

              By itself, limiting the withdrawal of capital from Russia is not the responsibility of the Central Bank. This should be done by the government. The Central Bank has no authority to prohibit the purchase of foreign currency for rubles.
              And commercial banks were punished very seriously. In 2016 alone, 88 licenses were revoked.

              The ruble was not supposed to grow.
              You understand, when a country is in crisis, there is not even a theoretical opportunity to get out of it "all in the black." Something should go into the red. It's unavoidable. The IMF believes that government spending and its reserves should go into minus in order to maintain the exchange rate. And supporters of inflation targeting believe that the exchange rate should go into minus in order to establish a low level of inflation. The course is sacrificed. And oil has nothing to do with it.

              Well, investors, if they are investors, and not traders (stock speculators) will get theirs by reducing production costs. Or did they expect to withdraw income in the dollar? Then you should not sympathize with them, since you yourself in the first paragraph to prohibit the withdrawal of capital from Russia.

    Thomas the Unbelieving
    We were all trapped. This happened in several stages.
    On the first: in article 75 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993, the not very clear phrase was written: “Protecting and ensuring the stability of the ruble is the main function of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, which it carries out independently of other public authorities.”
    The provision on, first of all, the provision that the Central Bank should be responsible for the stability of the ruble is not clear. Modern money is primarily a legal tender, and therefore its stability is determined by the possibility of acquiring goods, property and services in the country at more or less stable prices. These things are not very dependent on the Central Bank.
    Next, how to understand protection and resilience? Obviously, that currency is stable, which does not depreciate and is not revalued in more or less modest limits. The Central Bank in any country in the world cannot independently provide this without interaction with other authorities, primarily financial. Let me remind you that the State Bank was created in the Russian Empire by the Ministry of Finance and was subordinate to it. The same thing continued in the USSR: the Chairman of the State Bank was a member of the government, if the Minister of Finance was a member of the presidium of the government, otherwise he was the Deputy Minister of Finance. And this is economically justified: for a normal state, its budget and additional opportunities for lending to government spending are more important than the profit of bankers.
    The experience of independent actions of our Central Bank both in 1998 and in 2014 showed that it rather spoils than improves the situation with the national currency. For some reason, this company believes that inflation can be reduced by raising the interest rate. In fact, they simply ignore (do not know?) The well-known formula for determining the forward, that is, the future exchange rate.
    Let's say today the dollar is worth 58.71 rubles. The interest rate of our Central Bank is set at 7.75%, and the discount rate of the Fed is 1.5%. This means that a competent transaction per year will be concluded based on the future exchange rate of no less than 1,075 / 1,015 * 58,71 = 62,2 rubles. This means that in 2018 inflation has already been set - about 6% per year.
    In conclusion, I will cite an excerpt from a book on banking law in the United States, they would sometimes be worth learning from. So: “The main and oldest form of consumer protection with a thousand-year history is the limitation of loan interest rates set for borrowers. The Bible gives a reference that the practice of establishing loan interest rates that differ from prevailing rates is to be condemned as improper business practice, which is close to moral damage.
    In the United States, interest rate regulation was generally the responsibility of the states. There were differences between states not only in the size of maximum rates, but also in the types of loans provided. Many states considered this problem so important that they fixed restrictions on usury in their constitutions, and not in ordinary legislation. ”(US Banking Law. M, Progress, 1992, p. 497.).
    So: if in a country gross incomes grow by 1,8% over a year, then interest rates cannot be made even at 6, as the president promised us for young families on mortgages.
