This is reported by TASS with reference to the materials of the Central Bank.

“Annual inflation has increased to 6.68%, with an increase in the annual growth rate of prices for food and non-food products.

Annual and monthly indicators of stable price dynamics also increased slightly.

At the same time, the monthly growth in prices for non-food products without oil products decreased, ”the Bank of Russia noted.

The Central Bank admitted that this may reflect the beginning of a decrease in pressure on prices from the side of costs, as well as a more moderate pace of expansion of demand.

Earlier, the Central Bank of Russia published a draft on the main directions of the unified state monetary policy for 2022 and the period of 2023 and 2024.
