Siluanov noted that at the same time, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank put boundaries in the matter of the growth of the national currency.
The minister explained that the jumps in the dollar in recent days are associated with the inflow and outflow of currencies in Russia, which, in turn, depend on the trade balance.
"These changes are associated either with an increase in imports, or with a slight decrease in export earnings. Trends have been happening in recent months both in one direction and in the other," Siluanov added.
