He noted that the dollar, the euro and the yuan ended the year with more than expected strengthening against the ruble.

“This circumstance creates the preconditions for the strengthening of the Russian currency in the coming weeks in the region of 68 rubles per dollar,” the Prime agency quoted Syrovatkin as saying.

The analyst expects that the ruble will not experience serious fluctuations in 2023.

Earlier it was reported that Natalya Milchakova, a leading analyst at Freedom Finance Global, made a forecast regarding the behavior of the dollar and the euro in an interview with FAN.
