Details

Russia’s Central Bank raises rates by 100bp to 10.5%. Rates now up 500bp since the start of the year. Rising inflation – which has reached 9.4% – and continued rouble depreciation were the key factors behind the decision. Despite the rise, the rouble falls to a new historic low of 55.2 to the dollar shortly after the announcement.
