We recently distributed customs import duties in dollars between Russia and Belarus and between EAEU member states. But now [платежи] It was transferred to the Russian ruble,” he said.
According to Seliverstov, this is a logical decision against the background of payment difficulties due to sanctions on central banks.
The head of the Ministry of Finance said that the decision to transfer it to payments in rubles is not supported by Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. But with Belarus, these countries will make payments in dollars.
Seliverstov believes that sanctions and problems with payments have undermined confidence in the dollar. It is therefore not surprising that many states have switched to national currencies when paying for petroleum products.
23 April Seliverstov declarationBelarus does not consider the possible announcement of a technical default by Western creditors as a problem.
