The Central Bank said that the ruble has become the best store of value compared to other currencies

It is reported by RIA Novosti.

According to Zabotkin, this is because the ruble rate over the past five years has been quite high compared to other currencies, and the ruble is now about the same as it was at the end of 2017 against the dollar.

“That is, the ruble has been a more reliable means of savings for the past five years,” concluded the deputy chairman of the Bank of Russia.

Earlier, Alla Bakina, Director of the National Payment System Department of the Bank of Russia, said that the Financial Messaging System, which is the Russian alternative to SWIFT, has expanded by 50 new participants this year.
