MNI CBR Preview - June 2024: Expectations Leaning Toward Another Rate Hike

Analysts are split over whether the CBR will keep rates unchanged at 16% or deliver a rate hike at this juncture.

Executive Summary:

  • There is no clear consensus for the outcome of this month’s Central Bank of Russia rate meeting.
  • While some analysts predict that stubbornly high inflation and persistent demand-side pressure will warrant a rate hike at this juncture, others note that the CBR have time yet to assess inflation risks, and can therefore keep rates unchanged at 16% this month.
  • Deputy Governor Zabotkin stated that the latest data supports tight monetary policy, and that the central bank will consider a rate hike at its meeting in June.
