MOSCOW, June 9. /TASS/. The Central Bank does not see signs of overheating in the national economy but such risks exist and should be kept in mind, chairperson of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina said at a press conference after the Board meeting.

"Overheating is the situation when GDP is above the potential and in case the demand is growing quicker than the supply when GDP has reached its potential. Inflation serves as an indicator of such overheating when it becomes above the key level.
