As Milchakova explained, the news about the increase in the tax burden on the oil industry and the discussion of a voluntary contribution to the budget from companies that received excess profits in 2022 "caused concern in the foreign exchange market and, accordingly, intensified purchases of dollars and euros."
“The next working week will be short, but all the attention of the foreign exchange market will most likely be turned to the tenth package of EU and US sanctions against the Russian economy,” the analyst emphasized.
The specialist added that the dollar "already tested the level of 75 rubles," but, as she explained, "he has not managed to gain a foothold on it."
According to her forecast, we can expect that the dollar will reach 75 rubles, and the euro - - 80 rubles as early as next week.
But, according to the expert, even if this happens, then a downward correction will follow.
“Next week we predict the dollar exchange rate within 73-75 rubles per dollar, the euro exchange rate at 78-81 rubles per euro,” the RT interlocutor concluded.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that discussions were underway on the issue of a one-time business contribution to the budget.
