Auditor of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation inflation. His words are reported by RIA Novosti.
“Maybe I’m an overly optimist, and there should be more pessimists in the Accounts Chamber, who constantly talk about risks, but it seems to me that for macroeconomic stability in Russia now there are no so many threats. Because we have a stable macroeconomic situation, thanks to the global conjuncture, we have gold and foreign exchange reserves at historic highs, and a good financial cushion has been accumulated. But you are right, inflation is the main macroeconomic problem, “Savatyugin said.
He recalled that now the Bank of Russia forecasts annual inflation closer to 8 percent, with a target figure that is two times lower – 4 percent.
