This year’s inflation rate in Russia is expected to range between 6.5 and 7.5 percent, Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin told a Moscow news conference on Thursday, praising the Central Bank’s efforts to contain inflation.
‘The Central Bank is signaling its readiness to make more steps in this direction’, Kudrin said, urging the government to follow suit by notably referring to the non-use of oil and gas revenues.
