Abstract：Now, having cut the rate to 17% in April, the bank is ready for more monetary easing.
The Russian central bank will assess a gradual key rate reduction at upcoming meetings, Governor Elvira Nabiullina said on Thursday.
The central bank's emergency rate hike to 20% in late February helped stabilise the rouble and overcome a spike in inflation, Nabiullina said earlier, speaking at the lower house of parliament, the Duma.
Now, having cut the rate to 17% in April, the bank is ready for more monetary easing, she said ahead of the April 29 board meeting.

Entering 2026, diverging central bank policies are reshaping global FX and bond markets, while economic momentum shifts from developed economies toward India. Meanwhile, an upcoming leadership transition at the US Federal Reserve presents a key underappreciated risk that could trigger renewed volatility in interest rates and the US dollar.
President Trump signaled the U.S. and China are effectively in a trade war, even as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent left room to extend a current tariff pause and a Trump–Xi meeting remains on the calendar. After floating a new 100% tariff on Chinese goods from Nov. 1, tensions seesawed amid Chinese sanctions and U.S. threats over soybeans. Some U.S. tariffs (up to ~145%) are paused until Nov. 10, with a Supreme Court test of “reciprocal” tariffs looming. Companies are adapting unevenly—Stellantis expanding in the U.S., while Apple deepens ties in China—suggesting continued market volatility.
Despite frequent “de-dollarization” headlines, the U.S. dollar remains unrivaled due to unmatched market depth, global usability, and trusted legal/institutional frameworks. Crypto and other currencies (euro, yuan) lack the stability, convertibility, and infrastructure required to replace the USD, while the Fed’s credibility and the scale of U.S. financial markets continue to anchor demand. Bottom line: no alternative currently offers a complete, credible substitute for the dollar’s global role.
The U.S. will impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting Nov. 1, 2025—potentially earlier—alongside new export controls on “critical software,” escalating tensions after Beijing’s rare-earth curbs, new port fees, a Qualcomm probe, and a halt to U.S. soybean purchases. Stocks fell on the news. Key context: some U.S.-China tariffs remain paused until Nov. 10, a Supreme Court case could reshape Trump’s tariff authority, new U.S. duties on cabinets (Oct. 1) and wood products (Oct. 14) are in force, and a pause on Mexico tariffs is set to end next month.
