“Strong factors for the weakening of the ruble in the coming days are not expected.
On the contrary, it can be expected that the dollar exchange rate will fall by 1-1.5 rubles, as the tax period begins in Russia.
Exporting companies sell the received foreign exchange earnings to transfer taxes and excises to the budget,” the specialist explained.
The increased demand for ruble liquidity strengthens the national currency, Sidorov added.
“So next week we should expect that the dollar may cost 61-63 rubles, and this situation will continue until the end of the month.
Of course, in a situation where there are no strong changes in politics and the economy, which are extremely difficult to predict (sanctions or geopolitical events), ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian side is in favor of revising the principles of the global financial system.
