Inflation in Russia
From 2013 to 2022, Russia experienced high inflation, often exceeding 5%. The country's inflation was significantly influenced by geopolitical tensions, economic sanctions, currency volatility and fluctuations in global commodity prices. The Russian government and central bank implemented various measures to control inflation, but external factors and domestic economic challenges continued to exert upward pressure on prices.
Consumer price inflation in Russia averaged 7.2% in the ten years to 2022, below the Eastern European average of 7.7%. The 2022 average figure was 13.8%. For more inflation information, visit our dedicated page.
