In Russia, the stock of foreign currencies is practically exhausted. The ruble’s depreciation is linked to this, said economist Nikolai Kulbaka.
“A cheap ruble is good for the state, because it is easier for it to fulfill its obligations. And it is beneficial for exporters who receive more money, ”quotes the interlocutor of the Putin channel on Telegram.
According to the expert, the cheap ruble is unprofitable for importers and ordinary citizens. Since there are too many factors affecting the exchange rate of the national currency, no economist can predict the future behavior of the ruble. To do this, it is necessary to analyze the dynamics for at least a few weeks, Kullbacka added.
Earlier, Professor at the Higher School of Economics Yevgeny Kogan said that the strengthening of the dollar and the euro will lead to a rise in the price of imported goods in Russia.
