According to experts, the authorities have enough ways to slow down inflation. These include the postponement of indexation of scrap collection for cars, reduction of import duties and revision of budget policy.

Recall that today it was reported that the Central Bank may raise the key rate to 20-22% in 2025. This option is contained in the regulator's scenario, which provides for a global financial crisis.
