Abstract

Usually disinflation policy leads to decline in economic activity in medium term. Later, inflation expectation decrease and money circulation normalization will lead to interest rate decline and widening of a planning. These effects, both positive and negative, affect various industries differently. In this paper the author aims to assess sectoral consequences of disinflation policy, which has been recently implemented by the Bank of Russia.Economic theory predicts the following. Firstly, tight monetary policy hits industries producing investment goods, since demand for that type of goods in sensitive to interest rates change. Secondly, procyclical industries suffer. Thirdly, interest rate hike constrains loans to small and medium enterprises more than to large ones. Furthermore, real exchange rate appreciates during disinflation policy and therefore worsen terms for exporters. All these effects, except real appreciation of ruble, are present in Russian economy. Along with that mortgage lending is widening and long-term interest rates are decreasing.
