According to the expert, the ruble has strengthened this week due to expectations of the Central Bank’s interest rate increase. This is also facilitated by the low demand for the currency, with a high supply in the domestic market. The analyst added that negative factors such as the decline in world oil prices and the increase in the Ministry of Finance’s budget deficit forecast did not affect the ruble exchange rate.
