The creation of a single unit of account, which is an alternative to the dollar, discussed by the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) will not change the lives of Russians and will not change Russia’s domestic trade. About this TV channel “360” said economist, financial analyst Alexander Razuvaev.
“It will be like the ECU in the European Union in its time, it’s not exactly money. Most likely, logically, the unit of account should be digital. But this applies only to foreign trade – for example, Russia and India – and it basically does not change anything, but for the Russians it does not change anything, ”explained the expert.
He also pointed out that the Russian authorities are planning to strengthen the ruble. This is indicated by the order of Russian President Vladimir Putin to reduce volatility in the financial market. According to Razuvaev, “We will get 65-85 rubles per dollar, that is, a corridor close to 65.”
The previous day, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov declarationThe BRICS countries are discussing the possibility of creating a common unit of account. He noted that this unit of account will not be a single currency like the euro, but may be an alternative to the dollar, in which the cost of commodity deliveries can be expressed.
