The head of VTB, Andrei Kostin, proposed supporting the ruble exchange rate for transferring money abroad. Contact us not only in dollars and euros, but also in rubles.
You just need to understand that we do not live in peacetime. Some additional steps are needed [для поддержки рубля] to what we managed to do. For example, loopholes remain. Let’s say you decide to transfer money abroad: restrictions have been introduced on $1 million per month, but in rubles you can transfer as much as you want. What happens next? You transferred a billion to Armenia, and it is immediately returned in exchange for dollars. This opportunity needs to be closed, for example.
Andrey Kostin, President and Chairman of the Board of VTB
Kostin believes that the transfer threshold can be set at 100 million rubles.
