  • Macroeconomic stabilisation of 1995-98 High inflation of several hundred and more percent a year in 1992-94during the period immediately following the deregulation of prices on January 2, 1992 In mid 1995 the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) introduced a system of the crawling peg an exchange rate corridor with initially pretty narrow boundaries The program of exchange rate based stabilization: to peg the exchange rate to the dollar and to use it as a nominal anchor for stabilization (prudent monetary policy)Pre-conditions: to contain within reasonable limits the government budget deficit and to find non-inflationary ways of its financing

  • Macroeconomic stabilisation of 1995-98The government stood up to its promises for three long years:No increase in the budget deficitEven though this required drastic expenditure cuts, since the budget revenues, despite all efforts to improve tax collection, continued to fallFinance the deficit mostly through borrowings Selling short-term ruble denominated treasury bills (GKO)Borrowing abroad in hard currency from international financial institutions, Western governments and banks and at the Eurobond market
