"As domestic demand continues to be strong and exceeds the possibilities of expanding the supply, so inflation will return to the target more slowly than expected," the Russian regulator said in a statement.
According to the CBR, "the return of inflation to the target and its further stabilization at levels close to 4% imply a longer period of monetary restriction than previously expected."
"The CBR increased its forecast for the average key rate in 2024 and 2025 to 15%-16% and 10%-12%, respectively.
The CBR's monetary policy will help consolidate the disinflation process in the Russian economy," the regulator added.
However, the regulator noted that the growth in consumer prices in March was 4.5% year-on-year, against 6.3% in February.
The Bank said that in the first quarter of 2024, the Russian economy "continued to grow faster than expected" and predicted GDP growth in 2024 of 2.5%-3.5%.
The next CBR monetary policy meeting will be held on June 7.
