Russia's central bank to hike key rate by another 100 bps, poll forecasts
Inflation seen at 7.3% in 2024
GDP growth seen at 3.6%, below official forecast
MOSCOW, Oct 3 (Reuters) -Russia's central bank is expected to raise its benchmark interest rate by another 100 basis points to a median of 20% at its Oct. 25 meeting, a Reuters poll of analysts showed on Thursday.
The consensus forecast of 14 analysts polled by Reuters in late September and early October suggested annual inflation would end 2024 at 7.3%, down from the current rate of 9.1% but up from the previous poll's forecast of 7.0%.
The central bank raised its benchmark interest rate by 100 basis points to 19% at its Sept. 13 rate-setting meeting, saying that inflation remained stubbornly high and action was needed to reduce it.
"In the baseline scenario, we believe that the level of 20% will be the peak of the key rate in this cycle," Sovkombank's Mikhail Vasilyev said.
Analysts expected the central bank to start cutting the key rate no earlier than the second quarter of 2025.
The analysts have raised their inflation forecasts following the publication of draft budget documents this week which revealed that public spending this year would increase by 7.6% compared with the previously published plan.
"The draft budget for 2025–2027 and the significant adjustment of the budget for 2024 have a pro-inflationary nature, which means that a noticeable easing of monetary policy in 2025 is not expected," Sinara analysts said.
The analysts have also raised their forecasts for economic growth this year to a median of 3.8% compared with the previous poll's estimate of 3.6%. Russia's official GDP growth forecast is 3.9%.
The rouble, which has been weakening against all major currencies in August and September, is seen at 97.7 in one year, 3.4% weaker than the central bank's official exchange rate set for Oct. 3.
