    Nice change of topic when you reach the point you can’t admit being wrong or the numbers I provided were actually accurate.

    I’m literally discussing the same topic here. Costs for energy go up when the supply cannot meet demand. Once again, this is why Russia is currently making record profits while selling less gas. I’ve literally linked you pipelines Russia currently building to replace Europe. You just made a baseless assertion that they won’t keep doing more of that going forward.

    So about the same level as Russia?

    Inflation in Russia has been falling, and it’s now down to 7.5% already.

    I’m still kind of baffled why Russia keeps stealing and exporting Ukrainian grain if they are so self-sufficient with food. Could you provide some insight to that?

    Nice pivot there to a made up story. But even if we took this story at face value it doesn’t support your point since it says Russia is EXPORTING grain from Ukraine. If they weren’t self sufficient in food then they’d be using it themselves. It’s amazing that this sort of thing needs to be explained.

        And what makes China’s, India’s etc. demands to go up from the current imports?

        The manufacturing that’s moving there from Europe right now.

        No it’s not. You picked the wrong number. That’s the central bank’s key rate. The inflation in August 2022 was 14,3%.

        No, I didn’t pick the wrong number. The inflation was at 15% peak, and has been coming down since.

        Then why steal it?

        Well going with the narrative of the article it’s to sell it for profit. Did you read the article you linked? 😂

            Yes, but I’m talking about demand or supply that will met the previous Europe’s exports. The calculations show that those numbers are not met even with the new pipelines, even with more supply and demand. Not sure why this is so hard to understand.

            Not sure what part of Russia can build as many pipelines as they need you’re struggling with here. Meanwhile, in the short term Russia is making money hand over fist, so not like they’re hurting in the short term either.

            Are you mixing this up to the estimates they have released for 2023?

            No, I’m not. I’m talking about month by month inflation. Here’s another breakdown for you https://www.focus-economics.com/countries/russia/news/inflation/inflation-comes-in-at-highest-level-since-february-2016-in-october-0

            Consumer prices rose 1.11% in October over the previous month, picking up from the 0.60% increase seen in September. October’s uptick marked the highest reading since March 2015 and was chiefly driven by rising prices for goods and food. Meanwhile, services prices were broadly stable at the outset of Q4.

            Inflation increased to 8.1% in October, following September’s 7.4%. October’s reading represented the highest inflation rate since February 2016. Meanwhile, the trend pointed up, with annual average inflation coming in at 6.1% in October (September: 5.7%). Lastly, core inflation rose to 8.0% in October, from September’s 7.6%.

            Consumer prices are staying pretty stable. How does that compare with Europe again?

                I literally said inflation is down to 7.5%:

                Inflation in Russia has been falling, and it’s now down to 7.5% already.

                I’m sorry I didn’t realize you’re unable to comprehend that inflation being down to 7.5% implies there is change over time in inflation.

                And of course, we don’t have to talk about annual rates. We can clearly talk about the change in inflation over past 6 months. Change in Russia has been that inflation is dropping and prices are stable. The change in Europe has been the opposite. These are basic facts of the situation.
