NOVO-OGARYOVO, November 24 (RIA Novosti) - The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, the Finance Ministry and the Central Bank of Russia agree that it would be wrong to curb inflation through ruble appreciation, the economic minister said Thursday.
German Gref told President Vladimir Putin that his ministry, the Finance Ministry and the Central Bank had drawn up a set of short-term anti-inflation measures.
"If the [oil] price remains high, we will have to sterilize excessive liquidity," Gref said.
