A message on the government website says that earlier Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin emphasized that under the current conditions, the use of digital financial assets would facilitate uninterrupted payment for the supply of goods from abroad and for export.
“In this regard, the Ministry of Finance, with the participation of the Bank of Russia, must submit agreed proposals for the development of the digital financial asset market in Russia, including the use, by December 1,” the report says.
In February, the Russian government approved the concept of legislative regulation of digital currencies.
