Russia's consumer prices rose by 0.96% in the week spanning September 29 to October 5, according to a review of the current price situation prepared by the Russian Economic Development Ministry and reported by Rosstat, the country's federal statistics service.
Over the same one-week period, annual inflation in Russia stood at 7.17%, the ministry's review indicated. The figure offers a snapshot of how price growth over the preceding twelve months compared with the equivalent period a year earlier.
Weekly inflation readings are closely watched by Russian economic officials and analysts as an early indicator of price trends between the more comprehensive monthly inflation reports issued by Rosstat.
The Russian central bank monitors such inflation data closely as it sets monetary policy, including decisions on its key interest rate, which has been a central tool in the bank's efforts to manage price growth in recent years.
Inflation has remained a persistent focus for Russian policymakers, with the central bank and government regularly addressing price stability in public statements amid broader economic pressures facing the country.
