Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov commented on the impact of US sanctions on our country. According to the diplomat, the authorities intend to reduce dependence on US payment systems and the dollar. In turn, Natalya Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank, said: “The 2014 discussion of the year showed that it’s not very realistic to get away from the dollar - there are no other liquid currency markets. The euro has no such turnover. The Russian currency market is 95% - the ruble-dollar turnover and 5% - other currencies. " The doctor of economic sciences, professor of the department of international finance of MGIMO Valentin Katasonov comments.
