According to her, the dollar is growing due to the uncertainty "around further events."

“The short-term target of the dollar in the case of a pessimistic scenario is 83-84 rubles, and the euro is 93-94 rubles.

I think that this is possible in the event of a negative scenario, for example, if Biden or some other country announces that they are launching a package of even tougher sanctions, ”the economist said.

The expert also recommended keeping savings in multiple currencies.

“Between three currencies: the ruble, the dollar and the third currency is neutral.

Maybe it will be the Swiss franc or the Japanese yen.

We have to wait and see for now,” she explained.

The dollar exchange rate during trading on Wednesday, February 23, rose above 80 rubles.
