According to him, now dollars and euros are just "cut green pieces of paper."
“Of course, neither the death of the dollar, nor even a significant rejection of it should be expected, such forecasts are nothing more than scarecrows.
However, to a certain extent, a departure from the American currency in global trade is very likely, ”the Prime agency quotes Timofeev.
The expert noted that anti-Russian sanctions have discredited the dollar, and against this background, the Central Bank of Russia may push partners to settle in national currencies or in rubles.
“Of course, it is impossible to force everyone to pay in rubles.
The Central Bank can only use soft methods to limit foreign exchange transactions and encourage ruble settlements, ”he said.
Natalya Milchakova, a leading analyst at Freedom Finance Global, spoke earlier about the prospects for de-dollarization in international settlements.
As the expert predicts, in a few years the main currencies of settlements between the BRICS countries may become the digital yuan and the digital ruble, and in the future, the state digital currencies of other BRICS countries.
