The Central Bank intends to keep the key rate above the neutral range of 5-6 percent at least until mid-2023. “The return to the neutral level of the key rate – this is 5-6 percent, let me remind you – will not happen until mid-2023,” Nabiullina said. According to her, keeping the rate above neutral is necessary for a steady slowdown in inflation.
