How to read it

Real rather than nominal: it accounts for the fact that higher Russian inflation erodes competitiveness even when the nominal rate is unchanged. Depreciation passes into non-food goods prices with a lag of several months.

How it is measured

Change in the real effective exchange rate index - the rouble against a basket of trading partners' currencies, adjusted for inflation differentials. A positive value means the rouble strengthened.
