Political scientist Sergei Markov commented on the message that Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered individual exporters to sell proceeds in foreign currency on the domestic Russian market.
«Putin was forced to sign a decree on the mandatory sale of currency by 43 large export holdings,” Markov wrote in his Telegram channel.
He explained that since the ruble exchange rate began to fall, exporters swore for several months that that they will respond to the government’s request and will voluntarily sell currency to strengthen the ruble exchange rate.
“They deceived us. The ruble is hanging around 100. We had to officially force the exporters,” the expert wrote.
When In this regard, he noted that it would be difficult to verify, since exports are now carried out “under gray schemes in order to avoid sanctions.”
“We need to be stricter, life teaches us that,” concluded Markov.
It should be noted that the decree of the President of Russia provides for the appointment of representatives of Rosfinmonitoring to the company to carry out control and inspections.
