Abstract: Based on October results, the year-over-year inflation (for the past 12 months) has sped up to 6.7% with the level of consumer prices in October increasing by 0.83%, thus amounting to 9.7% in terms of annual growth rates of prices with seasonality adjusted. On October 27, the Central Bank of Russia raised the key rate by 200 basis points to 15.0% annually; as a result, in the current cycle of the monetary policy tightening which began on July 21, the key rate has already increased twofold. The signal of the monetary policy’s further direction was mitigated and the regulator put its future decisions in dependence on the inflation rate’s actual dynamics in the forthcoming months. The Central Bank of Russia’s updated forecast allows growth in the key rate by another 100 basis points in December and its average increase by 150 basis points in 2024.
