Before the start of the fuel crisis in June, inflation expectations had fallen to a two-year low of 12.4%. But the newspaper notes that the renewed surge could make the CBR wary and extend the pause in interest rate cuts. * President Vladimir Putin holds a government meeting to discuss measures to reduce so-called grey areas in the economy.
