In her opinion, the strengthening of the ruble is due to a reduction in imports to Russia, a decrease in the volume of movement of cross-border capital, as well as a reduction in the tourist flow.
"All these factors have a negative impact on the US dollar and reduce the importance of the dollar in the foreign exchange market," Mikhailova's statement was quoted by the Prime agency.
Earlier, Mikhail Zeltser, an expert on the stock market at BCS World of Investments, said that the ruble is in the top 20 of the world ranking.
