The study was carried out after trading in dollars and euros on the Moscow Stock Exchange was suspended. The confidence of Russians in these currencies as a means of storing savings has decreased and has become noticeably lower.

Almost one in six respondents (58%) said their savings should be kept in rubles. 30% of those surveyed plan to save in dollars and 24% in euros. Gazeta.ru writes about this.
Over the year, the number of supporters of the dollar and the euro decreased by 7 and 6%, respectively. And after recent developments with sanctions against the Moscow Stock Exchange and a retaliatory trading halt, Russians’ confidence in American and European currencies has dropped even further.
This time we asked Russians about the Chinese currency and it turned out that interest in it is quite high and even surpasses the euro: 27% of respondents consider it possible to save all or part of their savings in yuan.
It’s an interesting fact, but men trust the dollar and the euro a little more, and women trust the ruble. Depending on age, confidence in the national currency also increases. As for the yuan, it is most interesting for Russians with a salary of 100 thousand rubles a month.
Note that 39% of respondents mentioned the best currency to store savings, 16% the dollar and only 4% the euro.
Previously we said that the possibility of a new ruby strengthening and volatility war in the near future is not excluded.
