Russia's central bank hiked its key interest rate by 200 basis points to 21% on Friday, the highest level since 2003. The hike came as inflation in the country currently stands at 8.4%, more than double the bank's 4% target. The move is also driven by massive government spending on the military amid its war with Ukraine.
