Putin called for suppress prices

You need to do everything to suppress inflation, said Russian President Vladimir Putin, reports TASS. He urged to protect citizens from harsh price fluctuations.

Earlier, Putin compared the rise in prices in the United States and Russia. “In the States, a little more, in the eurozone a little less, but also very significant for them. If you take the leading economy of the world, the United States, they already have inflation 6.1 or 6.2 percent,” he said.

According to the forecast of the Central Bank, inflation in Russia at the end of 2021 will be 7.4-7.9 percent. As of the end of November, annual inflation in the United States was 6.8 percent.
