Russian central bank makes surprise interest rate cut

MOSCOW Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:41am EST

MOSCOW Jan 30 (Reuters) - Russia's central bank cut its key interest rate by two points to 15 percent on Friday, as the economy slides towards recession because of a collapse in global oil prices and Western sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.

The central bank said in a statement it was reducing its one-week minimum auction repo rate, which had been 17 percent, seeing conditions for a reduction in inflation in the medium-term.

The bank hiked its key rate by a total of 11.5 percentage points last year in response to panic on the currency market and soaring inflation, which reached 11.4 percent in December.
