Finance Minister Siluanov allowed foreign exchange interventions at the expense of the budget

“Our principle for the current year is “all income goes to expenses,” although we have already made more spending decisions than we will have income.

But part of the expenses can be omitted, and super-oil and gas revenues can be used to carry out interventions in the foreign exchange market, ”he said, speaking at the RUIE congress.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

According to him, this will have to affect the exchange rate of the ruble.

Earlier, the head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, said that as the economy stabilizes, most of the currency restrictions in Russia should be lifted.
