Question

Russian government economists follow the U.S. example of publishing a measure of "core inflation" in which food and energy prices are stripped from the consumer price index before computing annual inflation rates. Why do you think that Russian "core inflation" is lower than the annual rate of change in the Russian CPI including food prices?

Russian "core inflation" is lower than the annual rate of change in the Russian CPI including food prices since the core inflation record is determined by thinking about the purchaser cost file which does exclude the super unpredictable financial variable
