Russia’s central bank raises interest rate to 8.25%
Moscow, Russian Federation (AHN) – Strong inflationary pressure that threatened to derail Russia’s feeble economic recovery prompted the central bank to raise its key interest rate by 0.25 basis points to 8.25 percent.
The Russian Central Bank announced the increase in its refinancing rate on Friday and said it would take effect on Tuesday.
It marked the second time since February that the bank has raised its rate, before that the bank had not raised its main interest rate in two years.
Bank officials said their focus was to combat inflation. The inflation rate reached 9.6 percent on April 25.
In addition, the value of the ruble has risen against the dollar. The ruble is at its highest rate in currency trading against the dollar since December.

China bans smoking in most indoor places
China (AHN) – China will ban smoking in most indoor facilities, including hotels, restaurants, theaters, bars and railway stations beginning May 1.
The Ministry of Health law doesn’t specify penalties for people who violate the ban or for businesses that don’t meet the ban’s specifications.
The rule requires business owners to post no smoking signs, it prohibits cigarette vending machines in public places and it requires outdoor smoking areas to be out of the way of pedestrian walkways.
According to the Chinese news service Xinhua, about 300 million Chinese citizens are regular smokers. This leaves about 700 million people exposed to second-hand smoke.
The new rule does not prohibit smokers from lighting up at work.

Jobless claims above key 400,000 mark for second consecutive week
Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – Initial jobless claims rose to 429,000 during the week ending April 23, a 25,000 increase from the previous week and the highest rate in three months.
It also marked the second week in a row that first-time unemployment claims were above the 400,000 mark after dipping below that mark for a time and raising hopes the nation was entering a labor sector recovery to match the ongoing economic recovery in the financial services sector.
In more bad news, the less volatile four-week moving average also rose above the key 400,000 mark to 408,500. That was an increase of 9,250 from the previous week’s revised average of 399,250 initial claims, the Department of Labor said.
States with the largest increases in the number of first-time jobless claims for April 16, the latest week for which such data is available, were Florida (+2,753), New Mexico (+680), New Jersey (+490) and Colorado (+481).
The number of people claiming benefits in all unemployment compensation programs for the latest week such data is available was 8,187,232 for the week ending April 9, which marked a decrease of 112,578 from the previous week.
