A positive trend: inflation in Russia has slowed to 5.8%.

What was the growth rate of consumer prices in Russia in mid-December?

Inflation in the country began to slow in December – prices rose by 0.05% in the first week of the month, and by 0.06% in the second. Since the beginning of the year, the increase has been approximately 5.4%. Compared to last year, inflation has slowed. According to the Central Bank, in December 2024, the price growth rate was 6.12%, and now it is 5.8%.

The Ministry of Economic Development also confirms this trend: in the first ten days of December, inflation slowed to 6.08% (compared to 6.34% a year earlier). However, experts agree that the slowdown in price growth is only temporary, driven by seasonal factors; it's too early to talk about the sustainability of this trend.

What will happen to inflation in Russia at the beginning of 2026?

The slowdown in price growth in December is a positive development, but inflation expectations remain high in the country. Price growth for goods and services is projected to accelerate in the first months of 2026, driven by several factors:

An increase in the VAT rate from 20 to 22%; the abolition of certain business benefits that reduce the tax burden; high borrowing activity among Russians; and a worsening budget deficit.

"The state budget for next year includes a key rate of 12-13% per annum, but the Central Bank of the Russian Federation believes the actual rate will exceed the forecast level: this contradiction calls into question the ability to fulfill budget plans," the pessimistic expert believes.

Moreover, at its most recent key rate meeting, the Central Bank of Russia noted that monetary policy in Russia will remain tight. The regulator is signaling the end of the rate cut cycle, and if inflation accelerates, the rate may even be revised upward. The next key rate decision will be made on February 13, 2026. The Central Bank expects inflation to fall below 5% next year.

Financial News: The Future of the Cryptocurrency Market: Proposals from the Bank of Russia.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Central Bank of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Bank of Russia has prepared a concept for regulating cryptocurrencies in the Russian market. Both qualified and non-qualified investors will be able to acquire crypto assets, but each category will be subject to its own rules. The Bank of Russia has submitted proposals for legislative amendments to the government for review.

At the same time, the Bank of Russia continues to consider cryptocurrencies a high-risk instrument. They are not issued or guaranteed by any jurisdiction and are subject to increased volatility and sanctions risks. When deciding to invest in crypto assets, investors should understand that they assume the risk of potential loss of their funds.

According to the concept, digital currencies and stablecoins are recognized as monetary assets; they can be bought and sold, but they cannot be used for domestic payments.

Unqualified investors will be able to acquire the most liquid cryptocurrencies, for which criteria will be established in legislation, but only after passing testing and within a limit of no more than 300,000 rubles per year through a single intermediary.

Qualified investors will be able to purchase any cryptocurrency, except anonymous ones (whose smart contracts conceal information about token transfers to recipients), without any transaction volume restrictions, but only after passing a risk assessment.

Cryptocurrency transactions will be possible through the existing infrastructure: exchanges, brokers, and trustees will be able to operate under their existing licenses. Separate requirements will be established only for specialized depositories and exchangers that work with cryptocurrencies.

Residents will also be able to purchase cryptocurrency abroad (paying for it from foreign accounts) and transfer previously purchased cryptocurrency abroad through Russian intermediaries, but they will need to notify the tax service of such transactions.

The new regulation will also affect the digital financial asset (DFA) market. The circulation of DFAs and other Russian digital rights (utilitarian and hybrid) will be permitted on open networks. This will allow issuers to freely attract investment from abroad, and clients to acquire DFAs on terms no worse than those for cryptocurrency.

The concept calls for the development of a legislative framework by July 1, 2026. And starting July 1, 2027, it is planned to introduce liability for the illegal activities of intermediaries in the cryptocurrency market, similar to the liability for illegal banking activities.
