The head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Alexander Shukhin, said that the central bank is expected to keep the key interest rate at 14% per year at least until February 2027. As Kommersant writes, according to him, the signals from the regulator's leadership point to a long pause in the easing of monetary policy. Another factor in the decision-making will be the consequences of tax changes, which the central bank will have to evaluate, so businesses must not count on a rapid decrease in the cost of borrowed funds.
