The regulator named the conditions under which the trend will continue.

The Central Bank of Russia has decided to lower the key annual rate previously raised to 20%.

According to the decision of the regulator, from April 11, its value will decrease by 300 basis points and will amount to 17% per annum.

Earlier, the Central Bank explained that a cardinal increase in the key indicator, from 9.5 to 20%, despite all the associated risks, is necessary to support financial and price stability in Russia, which has found itself in a difficult situation due to anti-Russian sanctions by the US and the EU and the fall in the ruble exchange rate.

The regulator explained that this is the only way to protect the money of Russians on deposits from depreciation. Recall that such countermeasures were taken against the background of the beginning of Russia’s military special operation in Ukraine.

Its goal is called denazification and demilitarization of the neighboring state, TASS reports.

Now, the Central Bank reported that it will continue to assess external and internal conditions and risks when considering a subsequent rate cut.

So far, experts do not rule out that a comparison of the actual and expected dynamics of inflation will be in favor of Russia. Therefore, the scenario is likely that the rate will continue to decline, and such decisions may be made already at the next meetings of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that the Central Bank had collapsed the stock market by raising the key rate to 9.5%.

Putin called for a “more prudent attitude” to the export of food to unfriendly countries.

Some time ago, Western countries that are on the list of states unfriendly to Russia announced their intentions to nationalize Russian enterprises based in the West.

However, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by saying that the mechanism of nationalization of assets is available not only to European politicians.

Putin explained that today there is an attempt by Russian partners to hold Russia responsible for their own mistakes in the field of economy and energy, and, as a result, to solve these problems also at Russian expense.

The Head of State reminded that in this way it is possible to go far.

“Let no one forget that a double-edged weapon”, – said the president.

The Russian leader also spoke on the development of agriculture in the EU.

It is known that because of soaring gas prices, fertilizer is not just expensive to produce there, but also unprofitable.

Moreover, this is the result of the actions of the West against Russia, in particular, attempts to suppress the Russian Gazprom, Putin pointed out.

However, even in such conditions, Russia will not move to licensing the export of fertilizers for some time, as this may cause damage to someone.

The Russian president also explained that the authorities will now clearly work out the issue of selling fertilizers abroad, since the needs in the domestic market should be a priority.

“We have no desire to harm anyone, in any case. We just need to deal with everything carefully: with logistics, and with insurers. This is a deficit today, the deficit will be taken. They will! No one wants to die of hunger,” Putin said.

For all these reasons, Putin called in 2022 to be more careful about the supply of products abroad, especially to “unfriendly countries.”

Food self—sufficiency is a real competitive advantage of Russia, and it should work in the interests of our citizens,” the President stressed.

As Topnews wrote earlier, experts have revealed what sanctions await Russia after the events in Bucha.

Reuters reports on the obstacles that the Central Bank may face.

The US Treasury announced the introduction of a new package of anti-Russian actions in the near future.

According to the agency, the administration will increase economic pressure on the Russian Federation by introducing a ban on paying government debt in dollars that are placed in US banks.

According to Reuters, the sanctions already in force blocked access to the assets of the Central Bank, but in fact Russia had access to these funds.

For example, the Central Bank could use the funds to pay off the public debt, which is made in dollars.

However, it was announced the day before that Russia would not be able to take advantage of such an opportunity anymore.

The choice offered by the US department is between financing a military special operation in Ukraine and paying off the national debt.

Earlier, the Ministry of Finance stated that the debt will be paid in full and on time.

In order to execute orders on Eurobonds, the agency intended to do this through payment orders to agent banks.

In fact, the media explains, whether Russia will have the opportunity to pay will depend on how serious the sanctions will be for the Central Bank.

If the foreign correspondent bank is unable to fulfill the payment order, it will be withdrawn, and the Russian financial department will make a ruble payment taking into account the exchange rate of the Bank of Russia at the moment.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that Biden, after Bucha, again spoke rudely about the Russian president and announced new sanctions.

And Shell found itself in a desperate situation because of the UK authorities.

European experts continue to warn of severe economic consequences in the event of an embargo on gas from Russia.

Germany may face a collapse of industry, warned everyone Siegfried Russwurm, head of the Federal Union of German Industry.

In an interview with the ZDF TV channel, Russwurm said that the industry would be in a desperate situation due to the failure of Russian gas.

At the same time, the expert recalled that it was the German industry that saved the country during the pandemic.

“We are talking about the collapse of our industry, which saved us during the coronavirus pandemic,” Russwurm said.

Shell also found itself in a difficult situation, Bloomberg reports. The UK – unlike the EU countries – imposed sanctions against Gazprombank.

And earlier in the Kremlin, this particular bank was named as a means of salvation – sanctions were not imposed against the bank, which means that European partners will be able to transfer euros and dollars there, and Gazprombank itself will carry out the conversion.

There is no such chance of salvation in the UK. As a result, Shell may either not pay for Russian gas, or will look for an alternative payment method.

According to sources, the company also has impressive assets in Russia: this is, for example, a network of gas stations, enterprises for the production of aviation fuel. Gazprom and its “daughters” may like them.

Shell now has long–term contracts – 1.2 billion cubic meters of gas per year is valid until 2031, and 1.4 billion cubic meters annually – until 2028.

As Topnews wrote earlier, Russia indicated a position on gas supplies to unfriendly countries (those that have adopted anti-Russian sanctions). Payment for gas will be made only in rubles.

It will be possible to change the scheme only if the restrictions for Russia are lifted.

In response, Europe stated that it is forbidden to change the currency by contracts, and is going to abandon Russian blue fuel.
