“She is preparing to adapt to the new conditions and start moving forward, despite the sanctions.

In any case, there are no signs of a crisis inside Russia, ”the economist emphasized.

He noted that the US economy is "in the opposite state" due to rising inflation and an increase in the Fed's key rate.

“This is reflected in the positions of the dollar in principle and in relation to the ruble, in particular.

Plus, external factors are affecting, such as the displacement of the dollar from international circulation as a result of the clumsy application of sanctions against Russia,” Belyaev notes.

The interlocutor of RT believes that there will be a dollar correction, but it will not rise above 72-73 rubles.

“Apparently, the dollar has reached the bottom and we should not expect further decline.

If you have dollars on hand, then you do not need to sell them.

If there are savings in rubles, then everything depends on your intention, what to do next.

The moment for the purchase is quite good, ”concluded Belyaev.

Earlier, economist Igor Nikolaev urged Russians not to rush to buy foreign currency or exchange it for rubles without urgent need.

The ruble exchange rate during trading on Thursday, May 5, fell below 66 rubles.
