konstantin chyurikov joins me, konstantin, good morning, the central bank will decide on the key rate today, what are the forecasts? hello roman, well, no one expects a rate increase, although a decrease is also unlikely. so, the bank of russia will make a decision on the key rate today. market participants agree that the regulator will keep it at 16% for the second time in a row. experts do not see any prerequisites for further tightening of monetary policy. inflation according to the central bank's methodology slowed down, the population's inflation expectations have decreased, but on the other hand, the dynamics of consumer prices is 3.5% ahead of the bank of russia's target, so the chances of a rate cut are essentially zero, analysts say. is it possible that the regulator will pause any actions in the near future? from the upcoming meeting of the bank of russia we expect that the bank of russia. the key rate is at the current level of 16%. the reason for this is inflation, in our country it

is still not decreasing, it seems to have stopped in march at the level about 7.7% per annum, we also see that there is a decrease in inflation expectations, but to say that now we have signs that inflation is steadily going down is still premature, so for now the regulator does not have such compelling reasons for in order to return to lower rates. the main topic of the second day of the eu summit, just today, is grain, russian, belarusian and ukrainian. the european commission has conceived a brilliant, or there is no other way to put it, combination. first: introduce protective duties on grain from russia and belarus in the amount of 95 euros per ton. step two is to create an artificial shortage in domestic markets. step three: the authorities of european states will have to independently suppress the protests of their farmers and meekly buy ukrainian grain. but the problem is that in riot-ridden eu countries this is causing concern,

including in belgium itself. to ensure that the russian economy cannot destabilize ours, but another priority is to ensure that those who need grain continue to have access to it, balancing this will be very difficult. and about the fragile balance: western countries are still buying hundreds of millions of dollars of russian titanium, lamented the washington post, the mouthpiece of the us party. according to the newspaper, the volume of exports of this metal from russia in the twenty-second year amounted to 370 million. dollars, and, despite all the pressure, the figure last year decreased slightly by 25 million to 345. titanium is indispensable in the aircraft industry; russia supplies approximately a third of the world's volume of high-quality metal, so even large western business did not hesitate to make bold, rational statements, for example, the head of airbus stated in the summer of twenty-two

that sanctions against russia in this area would become sanctions against themselves. well, at the end of the issue about currency. usa, the pentagon announced this. the american congress has still not agreed on a new request for the transfer of funds to the kiev regime. new victims of israeli strikes on gas, 11 palestinians were killed in the south of the strip. eu leaders talk about the need for a ceasefire, they called israel did not carry out a ground operation in rafah;
