OREANDA-NEWS As early as the summer of 2025, the Bank of Russia may begin to gradually lower its key rate. This was stated by Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market. He was quoted by TASS.
The parliamentarian believes that by the end of this year, the "key" may be lowered to 14-15 percent. However, the development of events will depend on the state and business, as well as the geopolitical situation.
In addition, Aksakov does not rule out that the Russian currency will strengthen in the coming months, and the financial authorities of the Russian Federation will take control of inflation. This will be one of the prerequisites for lowering the key rate.
"I assume that this will happen in June, in July. The Central Bank will reduce the key rate gradually, by no more than 0.25 percentage points," the legislator said.
Earlier, it was predicted that the Bank of Russia would keep its key rate at 21 percent at the next meeting. There is also a theory that the regulator will eventually have to abandon its tight monetary policy, although it is not yet easy to predict the timing of this reversal.
