THE KEY RATE HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 15% PER ANNUM

On March 20, 2026, the Bank of Russia decided to lower the key rate by 50 bps to 15% per annum.

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation will assess the advisability of further reduction of the key rate depending on the sustainability of the slowdown in inflation, the dynamics of inflation expectations, as well as the assessment of risks from external and internal conditions. According to the Bank of Russia's forecast, given the current monetary policy, annual inflation will fall to 4.5-5.5% in 2026.

BANK OF RUSSIA EXTENDS RESTRICTIONS ON CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS BY NON-RESIDENTS FROM ‘HOSTILE’ COUNTRIES

The Bank of Russia has extended restrictions on outbound transfers of funds by non-residents from hostile countries from accounts held with Russian brokers and trust managers.

The restrictions apply to transfers from accounts of both individuals and legal entities maintained with Russian brokers and trust managers.

These measures were initially introduced on April 1, 2022.

In accordance with a Presidential Decree, the restrictions do not apply to the repatriation of funds abroad by foreign investors (or persons acting on their behalf) investing in the Russian financial market, where such funds are held on special ‘Type In’ accounts with Russian brokers and trust managers.

BANKS ARE RECOMMENDED TO PROACTIVELY INFORM CLIENTS OF RESTRICTIONS AND REMEDIAL STEPS

The Bank of Russia recommends that banks proactively contact clients - without waiting for inquiries - after suspending transactions or remote banking services under cybersecurity and anti-money laundering legislation.

Banks are advised to inform clients not only of the imposed restrictions, but also of grounds for such measures. They should maintain the ability for clients to contact the bank via remote channels even in the event access to online banking has already been suspended. In addition, banks should provide step-by-step guidance on how to resolve the situation. If a bank refuses to lift restrictions, it should explain the procedure for appealing such decision.

Clients should also be informed of how to apply for removal from the database of fraudulent transactions.
