Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina stated that the central bank will consider cutting interest rates at its next meeting if the current economic trends continue.

She described cryptocurrencies as volatile and risky assets, noting that while their use in foreign economic activities—particularly as investment instruments—is permitted, the Bank of Russia does not intend to invest in cryptocurrencies itself.
