The Russian Federation's lending rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the years, with the all-time peak occurring in 1998 at 41.79%, a level not seen again in the subsequent decades. The rate declined steadily until it reached its all-time trough in 2020 at 6.78%, a level more in line with the global average. Since then, the lending rate has trended upwards, reaching 13.33% in 2025, a level slightly above the global median. This trend is comparable to that of peer countries such as Armenia, which currently shares the same lending rate with Mexico, at 13.23% and 13.38% respectively. Haiti's lending rate, at 13.36%, is the only one surpassing Russia's current rate. A significant change in monetary policy or a shift in the global economic climate could alter the trajectory of Russia's lending rate, potentially leading to a decrease or increase in the rate in the coming years.
