Russias Central Bank raised its benchmark policy rate to 20%, the highest in almost twenty years, from 9.5% on Monday. The rate hike, the central bank said, ?is designed to offset the increased risk of ruble depreciation and inflation.? The rate hike came amid the broadening fallout of Western sanctions over the weekend in retaliation against Moscows invasion of Ukraine. It said it was taking the emergency measure because the Russian economys situation had drastically changed.
