The central bank kept its key rate at 7.5 percent on Thursday, the third consecutive meeting without a move, as headline inflation slipped toward the upper end of the target band.
Officials signalled they would hold until the disinflation trend is firmly established, while leaving the door open to a first cut later in the year if the currency stays stable.
This helper never builds a URL by stripping or guessing a slug. It asks Ghost (via {{#get}}) for the posts that actually share this article’s grouping tag #grp-<topic>.
Ghost only returns published posts, and {{url absolute="true"}} is Ghost’s own URL for each. So if the Arabic version is not written, Ghost returns no Arabic post, no ar alternate is emitted, and there is no Arabic URL anywhere that could 404.
Open the energy story to see this live: English and Russian alternates are present, Arabic is simply absent. Every emitted href, and the self-canonical, is a real published post’s real 200 URL.
# routes.yaml - multilingual routing for a single Ghost (Pro) instance.
# Upload at Settings > Labs > Routes (or via the Admin API). No URL rewriting needed:
# every language version is a normal published post that resolves at its own real URL.
#
# Tag scheme (internal tags, created with a leading # in the editor):
# #ru, #ar language tags. Ghost auto-slugs them hash-ru, hash-ar.
# English (default) posts carry NEITHER language tag.
# #grp-<topic> grouping tag (slug hash-grp-<topic>) placed on EVERY language
# version of the same article so the versions can find each other.
# Translations are linked by this tag, never by stripping a slug.

{{!--
partials/hreflang.hbs
404-safe hreflang + x-default for a single multilingual Ghost (Pro) instance.
Include in default.hbs <head>, AFTER {{ghost_head}}. ghost_head already emits the
SELF-REFERENCING canonical for the current URL (Ghost's default), so each version
canonicals to itself. We never override it to point at the English version.
How it stays 404-safe (the whole point):
This helper NEVER builds a URL by stripping or guessing a slug. It asks Ghost, via
{{#get}}, for the posts that actually share this article's grouping tag. Ghost only
ever returns published posts, and {{url absolute="true"}} is Ghost's own URL for each
one. So if the Arabic version is not written yet, Ghost returns no Arabic post, this
helper emits no `ar` alternate, and there is no Arabic URL anywhere that could 404.
Every hreflang href (and the canonical) is the real, 200-resolving URL of a real post.
Tag scheme: #ru/#ar are language tags (slugs hash-ru/hash-ar); English carries neither.
#grp-<topic> is the grouping tag (slug hash-grp-<topic>) shared by every version.
