sanctions work !!  > state duma deputy nikolai arefyev to nsn: inflation rate published by rosstat doesn't correspond to reality. > indept. inflation metrics, however, show much worse figures. according to romir, which estimates price growth based on thousands of documented purchases and receipts, inflation of fast-moving consumer goods (fmcg) alone in jan-sep 2024 amounted to 13.7%. last year, fmcg rose in price by 23.2%3x more than in rosstat data (7.4%). in 2022, prices increased by 33.4%while rosstat reported 11.9%. "we're hiding real inflation," n. arefyev said. "it's evident daily." continuing: "the government and everyone else are hiding it because otherwise they'd have to raise salaries in the public sector, pensionsthey don't want to give that money away." > according to arefyev, the head of the cb, e. nabiullina, understands that statistics are falsified and increases the key rate (21%) in relation to real inflation, not the one reported by rosstat. > govt: annual infl. reached 9.2%, the highest level since feb 2023, and accelerated by 1.8 pp. compared to the beginning of the year, despite the increase in the key rate (min. loan interest rate, ed) to the highest level in decades. according to govt, monthly price growth reached 1.43% in nov, the sharpest monthly jump since apr 2022, and a record for the last 22 years. if we set the deflator using the romir rate to get russia's gdp +- instead then last year's +3.6% growth turns out to be an -8.7% decline, stockholm's nier calculated. economists also used other models for the russian economynone of them showed growth. gdp calculated based on the ruble price of oil fell by 1.9% last year, based on the $ priceby 8.2%, and the correl. model with us gdp showed a collapse of 10.9%. ultimately, the govt has classified almost all precise vital economic data. one thing is certainthe collapse is here.   e-realnost-v-gosdume-prizvali-ne-vi nit-v-roste-kluchevoi-stavki-lish-t sb
