Price inflation remains within safe limits for several years now. The mark of 15% last time was passed in 2002, and 10% - in 2008, a year of recession. However, the issue of inflation continues to be relevant. The Government (represented by the Ministry of finance) and the Central Bank keeps up efforts to reduce it, while the reports of the Federal Service of State Statistics (Rosstat) and other authorities about growth rates of consumer prices are presented as military reports.
