Answering the question about what additional measures to curb inflation in the country will be taken, Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the government is aware of the current situation in the Russian economy.

Vladimir Putin's press secretary noted that inflation is currently higher than target levels than previously predicted.

Therefore, the Central Bank and the government are developing measures that will help reduce inflationary pressure.

It was not specified what specific measures were being discussed.

Let us recall that inflation in Russia is growing despite the regulator's restraining measures. In particular, the increase in the Central Bank's key rate was unable to restrain lending, which continues to grow at an accelerated pace.
