Increased key rate as a factor in investment and financial decisions

This article presents an analysis of the cause-and-effect relationship between fluctuations in the values of economic indicators (key rate, national currency exchange rate, inflation rate, market quotes, interest on bank deposits) and the obstacles and prospects for individuals and legal entities in making various financial and investment decisions. The development of the Russian stock market is directly related to the dynamic and sustainable development of the domestic economy, and the latter, in turn, directly depends on macroeconomic stability and maintaining at a given level the most important indicators, such as the inflation rate and the ruble exchange rate. It is precisely to maintain such stability that the actions of the Central Bank of Russia to increase or decrease the key rate are aimed. The article also examines the potential impact on the stock market of the Bank of Russia’s decision on the possibility of investing pension reserves in IPOs.
