“On July 27, the daily trading volume for the yuan-ruble pair amounted to 70.51 billion rubles, while for the euro-ruble pair - 58.66 billion rubles,” he said in an interview with the Prime agency.
Tarasov added that the dollar-ruble pair (117.74 billion rubles) remains the leader in currency trading.
It is noted that the yuan ranks third in terms of liquidity in Russia, and therefore this currency is the most attractive alternative to the dollar and the euro.
Earlier, the chief analyst of Sovcombank, Mikhail Vasiliev, said that the importance of the dollar and the euro in the first half of the year sank significantly and this process will continue in the coming months.
