On Friday, April 29, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia decided to cut the key rate from 17% to 14%.
"The external environment for the Russian economy remains challenging and significantly limits economic activity. At the same time, the risks to price and financial stability have ceased to grow, which created the conditions for lowering the key rate," the regulator's Telegram channel reported.
Recall that this is the second such decision in a month. In early April, the regulator lowered the rate from a record 20% to 17% at an unscheduled meeting.
