The budget committee of the State Duma concluded that next year the inflation rate may be higher than predicted by the Bank of Russia, as stated in the committee's summary conclusion on the draft federal budget for 2027. Deputies do not agree with the inflation forecast of 4%. "According to the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, the inflation forecast seems too optimistic and does not fully correspond to the parameters of the key interest rate," the document reads. At the same time, the committee declared the "extreme social importance of implementing the agreed policy of the Government of the Russian Federation and the Bank of Russia to curb inflation."
