1. The rouble has plummeted under Putin’s 23-year rule

• Russia's central bank considers raising its key interest rate following the rouble's drop beyond 100 to the dollar.

• The potential rate hikes aim to stabilise inflation at a 4 percent target, but the rouble's decline is not seen as a threat to financial stability.

• The rouble's pressure comes from decreased export volumes, increased demand for imports, and a rise in government borrowing.

• What’s interesting however, is the decline of the rouble during Vladimir Putin’s 23-year in power – the rouble does not appear to like invasions.
