Zabotkin told reporters about this, speaking at the Russian Financial Market Forum. “The Board of Directors on February 14 gave a signal that at the next meetings it will assess the feasibility of raising [the key rate].” The data received over the past month, since mid-February, somehow significantly do not change the picture, including because time has passed a little, Tremasov said earlier that in March the Bank of Russia may consider both raising and lowering the key rate, stressing that we are in a turning point.
