MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s central bank does not expect its interest rates to reach double-digit levels, Governor Elvira Nabiullina said on Thursday, ahead of a Dec. 17 rate-setting meeting at which the bank is widely expected to raise rates from 7.5%.
In an interview at the Reuters Next conference, Nabiullina said the central bank was not considering raising the inflation target from 4%, preferring consistency in its inflation-targeting regime.
