OREANDA-NEWS The Roscongress report says that by the end of 2025, the key rate of the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) may decrease to 16 percent. This is reported by RIA Novosti.

"With projected inflation of 7-8 percent, the real rate will be about 9-10 percent, which will keep monetary policy tight," the report says.

Analysts emphasize that reducing the key rate to such an indicator will not have a significant impact on inflation. In addition, it should not be accompanied by a sharp weakening of the ruble.

In early June, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation decided to lower the key rate by one percentage point to 20 percent.
