“The exchange rate is based on the state of our own economy.
At the moment, the Russian economy is in a certain stationary position and its performance is not the worst... Maybe not brilliant, but strong enough.
Actually, the American economy has signs of a crisis, but it is quite large and serious, and it is also in a fairly stable position, ”the expert said.
According to him, the exchange rate has settled in the region of 59-60 rubles per dollar.
“We have been seeing this for quite a long time.
If the exchange rate rose or fell a little, then these small fluctuations still occur around the base mark under the influence of various market factors,” the economist explained.
According to Belyaev, in this case, the recent meeting of the President of Russia with relevant ministers and the head of the Central Bank, where it was recorded and reaffirmed that the economy is “in a stable state” with signs of rectifying the situation and taking the path of progressive development, could have affected the course.
“This news could have influenced the market strengthening of the ruble against the dollar,” the analyst added.
The interlocutor of RT did not rule out that tomorrow the ruble could also strengthen against the dollar, but then the process will stabilize and for some time the rate will continue to fluctuate around 59-60 rubles per dollar.
Earlier it became known that according to the data at 11:29 Moscow time on the Moscow Exchange, the dollar exchange rate fell by 27 kopecks to 59.97 rubles.
