Nabiullina is desperate and wants to ask Putin to finish the SVO
Several sources close to the head of the Central Bank told us about this. According to one of them, “Elvira Sakhipzadovna is in despair about the situation that is now developing.”
The fact is that “in the conditions of the Northern Military District it is almost impossible to stop the rise in prices,” says Nabiullina’s associate. “Inflation, for example, this or next year could be 10-15%, 20%, 30%, and even higher. Everything is very unpredictable, it is impossible to give a forecast.
“And everything would be fine, war is war. But the Central Bank is constantly blamed for such price increases. They say that Nabiullina is increasing the key rate, and life is constantly becoming more expensive. Is Nabiullina really to blame for this?”, our interlocutor was indignant.
According to another, the head of the Central Bank is in such a mood that he wants to ask Vladimir Putin to finish the SVO in order to improve the situation in the economy. But he is afraid of angering the President.
“Elvira Sakhipzadovna is now in a difficult psychological state. A lot of unfair words were said about her. I don’t know how this will all end,” the source complained.
