The Bank of Russia kept its key rate at 14% as price pressures strengthened in recent months. Governor Elvira Nabiullina said high inflation expectations leave limited room for rate cuts, while the summer acceleration in price growth was driven mainly by fuel-market conditions. The scope for future cuts will be clarified in October.
Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina says the regulator will not keep the key rate at a level the economy cannot withstand for long, warning that this could raise unemployment and reduce real incomes. She says monetary policy will be eased and the rate lowered under the inflation-targeting framework, after the bank held it at 14%.
The Bank of Russia kept its key rate at 14% per annum, ending rate cuts for the first time since June 2025.

The decision followed ten consecutive cuts.
The Bank of Russia left its key rate unchanged at 14% per annum.

Future decisions will reflect inflation, inflation expectations and domestic and external risks.
The Bank of Russia’s Board of Directors will decide the key rate on Friday. Eighteen of 19 experts polled by TASS expect the benchmark to stay at 14%, as persistent inflation, fuel-supply pressures, a weaker ruble and uncertain budget parameters constrain further easing.
