- Ozon Bank has introduced a savings account with a rate of 8% per year. The tool will help the market to increase turnover due to the influx of new customers.
Business
- The average price of a summer vacation abroad for Russians increased from 15% to 50% compared to the summer of 2022, TASS writes.
- Tesla and Space X owner Elon Musk is once again the richest person in the world according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His fortune is estimated at $192 billion.
- At the beginning of 2023, Russia imported twice as many cigarettes from Germany and other countries than a year earlier. Such an increase may be due to an increase in the excise duty on tobacco from March 1 and a possible shortage of supplies from abroad, as well as the transition of wealthy buyers to better, in their opinion, products, RBC reports.
