Economist Ostapkovich gave a forecast for the dollar and euro

According to the economist, now the dollar is actually regulated by the Central Bank and "is not entirely subject to the market mechanism."

He also called positive the downward trend in the dollar and the strengthening of the ruble.

“I think that the dollar will remain in the range of 78-83 until the September auction, appointed by the Central Bank, and in principle, such a rate is quite favorable for the Russian economy,” Ostapkovich said.

According to him, the euro usually goes in the same ratio as the dollar.

“The ratio between the dollar and the euro is approximately always constant,” the source of RT clarifies.

Daisuke Karakama, Chief Economist of Japan's Mizuho Bank, said earlier that Russia's disconnection from the SWIFT international banking system is fraught with a weakening of the dollar's role in global finance.
