25.07.2025 ⇢ The Interest Rate Drop
⌨Russian media's editorial focus on July 25th demonstrated a dynamic shift towards domestic economic policy. The Central Bank's decision to lower the key interest rate to 18% quickly emerged as the day's dominant narrative, extensively covered and analyzed for its implications on loans, inflation, and the ruble. This economic development significantly superseded earlier headline concerns. The day began with reports of widespread Ukrainian drone attacks, detailing their impact and the ongoing An-24 plane crash investigation from the previous day, including the discovery of black boxes. However, a sudden and tragic gas explosion and building collapse in Saratov momentarily seized primary attention due to its escalating casualties. Yet, the Central Bank's economic announcement ultimately held the most prominent and sustained editorial focus, with updates on the Saratov disaster continuing alongside.
