“In principle, an upward trend has been outlined, but so far these are such indirect movements.
It is impossible to say that this is a stable trend.
An absolutely normal stable process is going on, ”the economist explained.
According to him, "floating plus or minus two or three rubles" will be until the end of the year.
“As history shows, at the end of the year and at the beginning of the new year, the ruble always weakens a little.
In my opinion, the weakening of the ruble in the first quarter, the maximum in the second, should take place.
The dollar exchange rate should go towards 70-75 rubles.
In principle, a dollar in the region of 73-77 rubles would suit everyone: the budget, and economic agents, and the population, ”Ostapkovich believes.
The euro exchange rate during the auction exceeded 67 rubles for the first time since May 30.
