The Central Bank of Russia is considering the possibility of further easing of foreign exchange restrictions

For example, the Central Bank is studying the possibility of zeroing out the mandatory sale of foreign exchange earnings for non-commodity exporters.

“Now we have proposed to the government commission to consider the next step.

For non-resource, non-energy exporters, in principle, it is already possible to reset the mandatory sale of foreign exchange earnings, and for raw materials - to reduce it to 50%, ”TASS quotes her. 

The regulator also considers it important to abandon the mandatory sale of foreign exchange earnings if it comes in the currencies of friendly countries.

At the same time, the Central Bank proposed that exporters who spend their proceeds on the purchase of imports should also be exempted from the need to sell.

Earlier, Nabiullina said that pegging the ruble to gold was not discussed.

In April, economist and financial analyst Anton Smirnov commented on the situation in the foreign exchange market in an interview with the FBA "Economy Today".
