The Central Bank of Russia published an update showing that broad money supply M2X increased by 1.2% in April, driven mainly by growth in household ruble deposits. Annual M2X growth rose to 12.5% from 12.2% in March, while annual growth in credit to the economy increased to 9.4% from 9.0%. Credit to the economy remained the main driver of money supply growth, and the fiscal sector continued to make a positive contribution to the increase in money supply.
