“The main problem lies not so much in the very fact of the growth of the dollar, but in the speed of this growth,” he said in a comment to the Prime agency.

The expert recalled that over the year the BBDXY currency index grew by 15%, which is critical for the economy and has a great impact primarily on poor countries that buy energy resources in dollars.

According to Syrovatkin, the growth of the dollar is a deflationary factor in terms of the American economy, and a high rate negatively affects profits in American companies.

The chief analyst of the financial supermarket Banki.ru Bogdan Zvarich previously predicted the dollar exchange rate in the range of 70-75 rubles by the end of 2022.

Zvarich also allowed the ruble to weaken in the medium term.
