    Hey Putin, you know what would help your inflation rates? Getting rid of the sanctions.

      Surely the CIA backed RFE wouldn’t be spewing propaganda would they? According to actual Russians in Russia everything is normal.

        19% central bank rates are anything but normal.

        In the US, a 6% 30-year mortgage on a $200k home costs $1,199/mo (excluding taxes, insurance, etc). That exact same mortgage at Russia’s 19% is $3,178/mo.

        No, at 19% it’s basically impossible to finance anything. Good luck buying a home, buying a car, expanding your business. We are talking literal credit card rates for the safest of things. And I’m being generous here, nobody gets the central bank rate, that is the floor, the cheapest rates that only banks get.

        Ignoring your source of, “trust me bro,” a huge number of actual Americans in America think things are normal. How does that relate to interest rates?
