Nabiullina appreciated the influence of negotiations in Ukraine in monetary policy

“On the basic stage, we don’t have this factor. Until now, it seems to me that it is premature to include in the script, especially in the basic. Everything will depend on the development of the situation, now it is not enough to calculate the impact on the economy, inflation is not enough for me, ”said Nabiullina.

He added that he does not want to “speculate on this issue.” According to the president of the Bank of Russia, “the basic scenario is now developed from the invariability of geopolitical conditions.”

Previously, on February 14, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank decided to maintain a key rate at the 21% annual level. The Central Bank said that “the inflationary pressure remains high”, and the return of inflation to the 4% objectives would take longer than planned.

On February 12, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, held a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin. According to the results of the dialogue, Trump said that both parties agreed to “start immediately” the negotiations to stop the military operation in Ukraine.

Later, Bloomberg’s sources reported that Putin was collecting a “heavyweight team with ten years of experience in negotiations” to conclude an agreement with the United States, which will end the conflict in Ukraine. Among them, according to the agency’s interlocutors, is the assistant of the president of Russia in Foreign Policy Yuri Ushakov and the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin.
