“Fundamental values ​​​​on the ratio of the ruble to the dollar indicate that, on average, the exchange rate around which fluctuations occur in one direction and the other is at the level of 74 rubles per dollar,” Belyaev said in an interview with RT.

According to him, some opportunistic, alarming events take place mainly in the international sphere, and "not within Russia and not within the Russian economy."

“They cause a certain increased risk situation and raise the dollar, which we are seeing at the moment.

Nevertheless, to say that this is the beginning of the collapse of the ruble, as some analysts predict, in my opinion, there is no basis for such a forecast, ”the economist assured.

He added that a correction can be expected in the coming days, and the value of the dollar, in his opinion, will be about 74 rubles.

“Maybe the border will shift to 75 rubles, but there is no need to talk about any collapse,” the economist emphasized.

Earlier it became known that the ruble, according to the Moscow Exchange, is declining against the dollar and the euro.
