In his opinion, the latest case of the weakening of the ruble was associated with the sharp rhetoric of the Russian authorities, who were concerned about the strengthening of the domestic currency.
Then, Syrovatkin recalled, the actions of officials were supported by real actions.
“Russia is largely forced to accept the rules of the game that are emerging on the world market, and not dictate them,” the Prime agency quotes him as saying.
Syrovatkin added that a new budget rule could only be formulated after the West set a "price ceiling" for Russian oil.
The analyst emphasized that the coordination of restrictions on the cost of energy resources from Russia could take a long time.
In this regard, the weakening of the ruble, according to Syrovatkin, can be expected no earlier than the fourth quarter of this year.
Earlier, BitRiver financial analyst Vladislav Antonov, in an interview with FAN, commented on the situation in the foreign exchange market.
