Earlier, the Central Bank of Russia predicted that at the end of the year inflation in Russia will amount to 5-6.5%.
Annual inflation in Russia has accelerated to 5.33%. This is evidenced by the data of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, according to the agency, the growth of prices for food products has slowed down and is 0.10%. This was due to the ongoing seasonal cheapening of fruits and vegetables and lower price growth for other food products.
The report of the Ministry of Economic Development also notes a decrease in the growth rate of non-food products to 0.21% due to the slowdown in the growth of the cost of cars and cheaper electric and household appliances.
