MOSCOW, April 15 (Reuters) - Price growth remains high for a wide range of goods and services, Russia's central bank said on Monday, little more than a week before its next rate-setting meeting, reiterating that tight monetary policy would remain in place for a long time.

Analysts polled by Reuters expect the bank to hold its key rate at 16% on April 26, as it did in February and March after five rate hikes in a row.

High domestic demand is the main pro-inflationary factor, the bank said in a report on Monday.
