Nabiolina: There is no rush to reduce the key rate.
Today, the head of the central bank, Elvira Nabiolina, speaks in the State Duma with a report on "the main directions of the unified monetary policy of the country for 2027 and the period 2028 and 2029". RBC Investments is monitoring the broadcast, here are some points:.
In 2027, the key rate will remain in double digits. According to Nabiolina, there is no rush to reduce it, as this could harm the economy (for example, trigger an increase in prices and interest rates). At the same time, the head of the central bank noted that there are now no signs of hypothermia in the economy.
The issue of the frozen assets of NSD investors remains in the attention of the central bank. According to Nabiolina, a significant part of the frozen assets were violated in one way or another (for example, through alternative bonds or other mechanisms). The central bank continues to work on lifting the blockade, but Nabiolina declined to discuss the details, given the sensitive details of this issue.
Neviolina also spoke about the need for a balance between limited disclosure of information due to sanctions risks and the interests of investors - they, according to Neviolina, need to know the financial condition of the company in which they invest money.
