🤣#Siluanov urged not to think about raising the key rate, “otherwise it will come true” “Why is everyone waiting for a rate increase? There is no need to create any additional expectations like this. You know, when you think about it a lot, it comes true. Therefore, we need to think about the opposite,” the Minister of Finance urged.

The Russian government is seeking to reallocate 7 trillion roubles ($72 billion) in its three-year budget draft, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards the military, Finance Minister Anton #Siluanov said.

The draft allocates 13.5 trillion roubles to the military in 2025, accounting for a third of total expenditure or 6.3% of GDP — the highest level since the Cold War. New amendments suggest that this figure could be even higher.
