Maxim Chirkov, Associate Professor of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements at the Institute of Economics and Finance at the State University of Management, predicts that the Russian ruble will strengthen in the coming months, with a possible decrease in the value of the dollar to 80 rubles. According to Chirkov, the Russian economy is stronger than the European economy in terms of both economic growth and inflation. He believes this indicates that the Russian currency is significantly undervalued. The agency writes about this “hit liner”
The economist believes that in the future the ruble exchange rate will depend not on the decisions of the Central Bank of Russia (CBRF), but rather on the problems of Western economies. Chirkov assumes that the dollar exchange rate will decline in the long term in the face of negative trends.
But the opinion of Maxim Chirkov does not coincide with the opinion of candidate of economic sciences Vladimir Grigoriev. In our conversation with the portal “lenta.ru” Grigoriev expressed doubts that the Russian currency could strengthen to 90 rubles per dollar.
Previously, African countries sharply reduced Use of ruble in export payments from Russia.
