Nabiullina announced the unblocking of 5.3 trillion rubles of assets from 2022

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation, together with the Ministry of Finance, has unblocked investors' assets totaling 5.3 trillion rubles since 2022. This was announced on March 24 by the head of the regulator, Elvira Nabiullina, at a joint meeting of the State Duma committees to review the annual report for 2025.

"In total, since 2022, we have managed to unlock assets worth 5.3 trillion rubles, as well as withdraw assets and payments on them in the amount of 6.7 trillion rubles from sub—sanctions risks to our jurisdiction," TASS quoted her as saying.

Nabiullina clarified that in 2025, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank withdrew 400 million rubles of investment assets from sanctions. She called it an important work to restore justice. According to the head of the regulator, this increases the confidence of new investors in the Russian economy.

How will banks react to this and will loans become more affordable?

On the same day, Nabiullina said that a sharp reduction in the key rate to 3% would lead to "classic" hyperinflation. The head of the Central Bank also considered the second scenario — a reduction in the rate to 6%. According to her, in this case, prices will start to rise by "tens of percent." Nabiullina warned that with such an outcome, the Russian economy would "choke" on high prices, and the experiment would result in heavy losses.
