Russian central bank not seeing increase in proinflationary risks

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s central bank is not observing an increase in proinflationary risks, Deputy Governor Alexei Zabotkin said on Wednesday, a little over two weeks before the bank is next due to decide on rates.

Annual inflation in Russia slowed further in September, but consumer prices rose in month-on-month terms for the first time since May.
