The council overseeing national finances set the date for the Bank of Russia to present its annual report to parliament. The briefing is scheduled for April 10 and will be delivered by the central bank governor to the general assembly.
Under law, the central bank must provide an annual update on its activities to the legislature no later than May 15 of the year following the reporting period. The report outlines the outcomes of monetary policy, analyzes key indicators, describes the state of the broader economy, and includes additional information such as conclusions from the national Audit Chamber.
In the lead up to the session, the central bank is expected to hold a preparatory meeting to discuss the policy stance and policy instruments. Market observers cited in the social media survey expect the central bank to maintain the current policy rate, with the prevailing forecast suggesting no immediate change. More comprehensive coverage will follow in a longer feature.
There was a separate development related to a licensing matter involving a payment services provider that earlier faced regulatory action and license withdrawal, reflecting ongoing oversight in the financial sector.
