“This is a geopolitical surge, and so far it is built only on rhetoric.
There are no grounds for the actual depreciation of the ruble and the rise of the euro yet, ”the expert said.
According to him, the situation with changes in the exchange rate is influenced by the problems of relations between Russia and NATO, as well as the Ukrainian issue.
The economist noted that in this situation there are no grounds for the "collapse" of the ruble.
We observe only temporary phenomena, the expert believes.
“If you analyze the economy over a long period, during such stressful political negotiations, until the full clarification, there is always a decrease in the national currency.
Unfortunately, our currency is very sensitive to such negotiations and maneuvers, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.
Earlier it was reported that the euro rose above 88 rubles for the first time since July 2021.
In particular, the euro rose by 71 kopecks to 88.04 rubles.
The dollar exchange rate grew by 64 kopecks - up to 76.9 rubles.
