Russia’s Central Bank chief disappears from public view as resignation rumors swirl; one report links her future to fears of border closures and martial law

Elvira Nabiullina, Russia’s central bank governor, has not been seen in public in more than a week. She missed the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on June 4, a National Association of Securities Market Participants (NAUFOR) conference on June 9, and a June 10 meeting with Vladimir Putin where the president discussed inflation and the key interest rate — the Central Bank’s core areas of responsibility.
