AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Central Bank & Credit Conditions: Russia’s Bank of Russia kept macroprudential mortgage limits steady for Q4 and tightened rules for several categories of unsecured consumer loans, while also maintaining countercyclical capital adequacy at 0.5%—a sign it’s trying to cool credit risk without choking housing demand. Markets & Oil: After the rate cut to 14%, the Moscow Exchange rebounded toward 2,200 points, but falling Brent and uncertainty around the Middle East still threaten a short-term pullback. Corporate Earnings: Rusagro reported Q2 revenue up 27% on higher grain and oil/fat sales volumes, highlighting resilience in Russia’s food and agribusiness pipeline. EU Sanctions Loopholes: Brussels reopened the EU fur market for Russian “soft gold” sable pelts via a narrow exemption, while also facing fresh legal fights over elite sanctions. Sanctions Court Battle: Tatiana Navka, wife of Dmitry Peskov, filed to overturn EU sanctions and seeks €2m+ in damages, adding another front to the EU-Russia sanctions war. Social Payments on Mir: Russia launched an experiment to simplify social benefits delivery through the Mir card via the public services portal, auto-activating entitlements by category. Politics & Lawmaking: The State Duma wrapped up a record legislative run, passing thousands of laws focused on expanding state control and repressing dissent. Defense Budget Priorities: Putin said the next federal budget will prioritize defense, social issues, and support for key economic sectors and the labor market.
