RUSSIA
  • Earlier this morning, CBR Governor mentioned in an interview that inflation in Russia has accelerated 'markedly', with CPI surging to 6% in May and diverging significantly from CBR 4-percent target.
  • As a consequence, CBR policymakers have started to raise interest rates to curb the inflationary pressures, lifting the benchmark rate by 125bps since the start of the year up to 5.5%.
  • While sell-side institutions have increased their 2021 forecast up to 5.1%, analysts still expect inflation to converge back towards the CBR 4-percent target for 2022 (red line).
