The Central Bank of Russia cut its key interest rate by 150bps to 9.5% during its June 2022 meeting, bringing borrowing costs back to levels prior to the Ukraine invasion, and compared to market forecasts of a 100bps drop. It follows a 300bps cut during an extraordinary meeting two weeks earlier and the central bank said it will consider the need of further loosening in the next meetings as inflation is slowing faster and the decline in economic activity is of a smaller magnitude than initially expected in April. At the same time, the ruble remains strong, holding close to levels not seen in seven years. Annual inflation is now seen at 14%–17% in 2022, and is expected to decline to 5%-7% in 2023 and return to 4% in 2024. The key rate is expected to average 10.8%-11.4% in 2022, 7%–9% in 2023 and 6%–7% in 2024. source: Central Bank of Russia

Russia Central Bank Set to Cut Rates on Thursday
The Central Bank of Russia announced an extraordinary rate-setting meeting on Thursday, more than two weeks earlier than the scheduled meeting on June 10th, with markets expecting another sharp cut in rates to curb the Ruble’s rally. In April, the central bank cut rates by a cumulative 600bps to 14% as inflation decreased since an emergency rate hike to 20% in the days after Russia’s February 24 invasion of Ukraine. The bank reported that inflation expectations over the next twelve months decreased to 11.5% in May, a level not seen in a year. The Russian ruble, the best-performing currency in 2022, hit a 7-year high this week and is currently trading around a 4-year high, making the country’s exports more expensive overseas which could become a problem for the budget.
