In turn, Deputy Chairman of the Board and CFO of Sbera Taras Skvortsov admitted that the key rate of the Bank of Russia will fall below 10% per annum in 2028. According to Skvortsov, such a decrease will be possible if the scenario of restrained economic growth and inflation stabilization near the target values of the Central Bank are implemented.
In addition, Sber expects that in the next three years the dynamics of economic development will be restrained, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 1.5%. At the same time, the bank predicts a slowdown in inflation next year to 4.5-5% with its stabilization near the targeted 4% values in 2028-2029.
In early September, Gref noted that in 2026 there is a decline in investment, which may affect the pace of economic growth in the coming years.
