He stated that "the devaluation contribution of daily purchases of dollars in the domestic market (with the subsequent sale of these dollars in the foreign market) can be estimated in the range of 5-10%."

According to him, "the contribution to inflation is an additional 1-2%, since the dollar is overvalued, which affects the cost of imports, and billions of rubles enter the financial system."

“If this purchase of dollars had not been, the dollar / ruble rate would have been in the range of 65-70,” RIA Novosti Losev is quoted as saying.

Earlier, the head of the department of corporate finance and corporate governance of the Financial University under the Russian government, Konstantin Ordov, in an interview with FBA "Economics Segodnya" told whether it is possible to completely abandon the dollar in the economy.
