Russian exporters will sell less currency within the country.
ReplyDeleteThe decree was signed by Putin.
If earlier Russian exporters were obliged to sell 80% of foreign exchange earnings, now the requirement has been reduced to 50%.
This measure was introduced in February in order to support the ruble exchange rate and ensure the inflow of currency into the country (as if in exchange for funds frozen in the West).
And it worked: if on March 10 the dollar exchange rate at the moment reached 126 rubles, and the euro – 135 rubles, today it is 57 rubles and 58.6 rubles, respectively. The inflow of currency into the country is secured, its supply on the market exceeds demand.
However, further strengthening of the ruble now may be dangerous for the budget and the Russian economy.
Foreign exchange earnings from exports (especially in the raw materials sector) continue to flow to Russia in huge quantities. Following the strong strengthening of the national currency, the incomes of exporters in rubles are declining. Together with them, tax revenues to the Russian budget will also be reduced.
Analysts of BCS Express believe that now the decline in the dollar will slow down. However, there are no reasons for a "powerful rebound".
Erdogan announced the imminent start of the Turkish military operation on the border with Syria and Iraq.
ReplyDeleteA decision on this will be made at a meeting of the country's Security Council the day after tomorrow.
Erdogan clarified that the operation is planned to begin as soon as the Armed Forces, as well as intelligence and special services are ready for military action.
The operation will be carried out 30 km from the southern borders of Turkey on the border with Syria and Iraq. The headquarters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which the Turkish authorities consider a terrorist organization, are concentrated in this part.
Turkey wants to receive written guarantees from Sweden and Finland before agreeing to their accession to NATO, the Foreign Ministry of the republic said.

Looks like Erdogan is going to use the cards he has been dealt with in Ukraine to slaughter the Kurds.
