Russian central bank hikes key interest rate by 100 bps to 8.5%
central bank raised its key interest rate by 100 basis points to 8.5% on Friday, raising the cost of borrowing as the weak rouble stoked inflationary risks from a tight labour market and strong consumer demand. It was the first time the bank had lifted rates in more than a year, having gradually reversed an emergency hike to 20% made in late February last year after Russia's decision to send tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, which saw the West impose sanctions on Moscow. It had previously held rates at 7.5% since the last cut in September.
