The calculation of the indicator resumed a year later, and changes were added to its methodology. Now 11 parameters are used to calculate: the difference between corporate bond interest rates, money market and OFZ rates, stock market volatility, inflation rate, exchange rate volatility, and more. The threshold value for the system to enter the critical phase is 2.5 points. According to experts, the devaluation of the national currency, price increases and the difference in rates on the financial market contributed to the increase in December 2024.
