Russia's central bank raised its key interest rate by a higher than expected 200 basis points to 15% on Friday, hiking borrowing costs for the fourth meeting running in response to a weak rouble and stubborn inflation pressure.
The central bank has now raised rates by 750 basis points since July, including an unscheduled emergency hike in August as the rouble tumbled past 100 to the dollar and the Kremlin called for tighter monetary policy.

All Putty Put has to do is give up his dream of recreating the old soviet union, withdraw all forces from Ukraine and the economic pain can end.
Putin’s attempt to put the old band back together has been a colossal flop.
The Russian army is in the Russian Federation.
The oblasts of Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Luhansk joined the Russian Federation in late September 2022.
lmao
right.
Kinda nice to watch... their deficit is increasing every single month!
This is what happens when your currency drops 50% in 15months-
both of which indicate losing.
Been posting all along, to follow the war follow the worth of the ruble.
President Reagan knew how to play the Bankrupt Russia game back in the 80s.
Well, there goes any hope of buying a house in Russia, Russia, Russia!
sure, just like Nazi Germany gloating about how it “owned” most of Europe in 1943
but that changed ...
Yes exactly! Russia is already dipping into their WELL Fund.
Another front for Biden to worry about :32,463.99 −320.31 (0.98%)today
I did Nazi that coming from the Galician contingent of Canada.
How's it hanging with your pals Hunka and Savaryn?
Nazis?
you mean the ones who teamed up with USSR / Russia to start WWII?
I’m talking about the Nazis [your Galician brothers] who are attacking the Kerch bridge.
That is not going to happen. Crimea will never be returned to Ukraine.
As far as Russia is concerned, we have crossed the Rubicon. The new Cold War is a reality. The world is undergoing a major global political and economic realignment. The BRIC countries are expanding. Russia is the world's 5th largest exporter of wheat, the 2nd largest oil exporter, the largest exporter of fertilizer, and the largest exporter of natural gas.
Economic pain is being felt by Americans and Europeans due to the war in Ukraine. And we are borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars to pay for the war contributing to our growing national debt and the costs associated with servicing it. This fiscal year our debt servicing costs will exceed 1 trillion dollars, more than the defense budget. We can't afford these endless wars.
only Nazis there are your Russo-Nazis
always attacking and invading innocent neighboring countries
(see tagline)
The Russian army is in the Russian Federation, Galician.
Rubles are worthless, so 15% of nothing is nothing...
Agreed, Putin thinks he’s fighting for the survival of Russia and won’t give up the buffer he has taken. WWIII over Ukraine is not viable, hopefully.
