She said this at a press conference.
“In the coming months, it (inflation) will continue to slow down.
From its calculation, the most difficult months of this year in terms of price growth will come out.
When inflation is very volatile, its annual rate says little about price pressure, as it is overloaded with past shocks, ”RIA Novosti quotes her.
She also admitted that in the spring annual inflation "could drop even below 4%"
“But this will practically not characterize the dynamics of prices here and now.
In such situations, when making decisions, we are more guided by the forecast and current indicators of sustainable price pressure, cleared of the influence of one-time factors,” added Nabiullina.
Earlier, the Central Bank of Russia called the current inflationary pressure moderate.
