The head of the Central Bank put on a brooch similar to scales in honor of the new increase in the key rate

Chairman of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina put on a brooch at a press conference following the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank, which depicts a figure similar to scales. On Friday, the regulator raised the key rate by 1 percentage point to 9.5% per annum.

On December 17, 2021, at the last meeting of the Central Bank last year, the Central Bank raised the rate to the maximum level since October 2017 - 8.5%. Nabiullina went to the press with a New Year's Eve brooch in the shape of a Nutcracker.

Elvira Nabiullina previously explained the meaning of her brooches, which she wore at a press conference following a board meeting on monetary policy. “I have always worn brooches. She probably tried to convey our understanding of the situation, ”admitted the head of the Central Bank.

In March 2021, she put on the first brooch with an encrypted message - a tumbler that indicated the regulator's measures to support the financial sector during the coronavirus pandemic. At the last meeting of the board of directors in 2020, Nabiullina chose a brooch in the form of a bullfinch due to the fact that this bird is resistant and can tolerate various frosts.

The chairman of the Central Bank appears in brooches in the form of birds and other representatives of the animal and plant world for many years - at different times her jackets had a swan, a chicken, an owl, a butterfly, a snake, a fish, etc. She also has decorations in the form of flowers, which are also not distinguished by pretentiousness.
