He noted the favorable dynamics of food prices and the situation with the harvest.
“Therefore, probably, the dynamics of seasonal factors in August-September will indeed be of a disinflationary nature, and in this sense, negative monthly price changes are probably quite possible,” RIA Novosti quotes Zabotkin.
At the same time, the deputy chairman of the Central Bank of Russia doubted the possibility of deflation in August-September of this year.
Earlier, the Russian regulator predicted a return of annual inflation to 4% in 2024.
