Alexey Zubets, Director of the Socio-Economic Research Institute of the Financial University of the Russian Government, in an interview with the publication ura.ru He stated that the dollar may fall to 80 rubles after the implementation of the mechanism for the mandatory sale of foreign currency by some Russian exporters.
According to the economist, the dollar may fall from current levels to 80-85 rubles within six months without the need for any new measures. Zubets believes that the mandatory foreign exchange sale mechanism to be applied to some Russian exporters is sufficient to stabilize the exchange rate.
His colleague, candidate of economic sciences Yaroslav Kabakov, strategy director of the investment company FINAM, believes that adequate forecasts on the dollar exchange rate cannot be made earlier than a week, since there is currently a speculative reaction in the market.
Formerly press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov reportedVladimir Putin’s decision on the forced sale of foreign exchange earnings by some exporters and the closure of the list of these companies.
