The Ministry of Finance has given up

Just recently, the ministry and its head Alexei Kudrin personally assured the public that there was no reason to revise the budgeted inflation forecast for the current year. Kudrin argued this even when inflation in January and February ate up almost half of the annual norm. Now the Ministry of Finance has officially changed its point of view. The main question is whether this forecast adjustment is final. Inflation over the past year was just under 12 percent. Shall we block it?
