As he noted in an interview with Prime agency, buying currency is now a profitable investment.
According to him, at the moment, inflation in rubles is growing faster than in dollars.
He also pointed out that two factors usually affect the ruble exchange rate: geopolitics and oil.
At the moment, oil quotes look stable, but due to the policy of the West, the ruble has recently dipped slightly.
At the same time, according to Klopenko, there is now a "slight thaw", which led to the strengthening of the Russian currency to 74-75 rubles per dollar, and therefore it is necessary to buy up dollars and euros in case the geopolitical situation deteriorates.
“First of all, this is reasonable based on considerations that there is a significant likelihood of a new round of tension between the United States and Russia, and then the range will be 75-85, and if geopolitical conflicts lead to even greater sanctions, then the ruble may fall in price even more,” he concluded ...
Earlier, the chief analyst of PSB Bogdan Zvarych, in an interview with FBA "Economics Today", spoke about the factors affecting the dynamics of the ruble exchange rate.
