Weak ruble: pros from Manturov and cons in life

They won't tell ours?


The ruble has recently quite unexpectedly become the subject of heated discussions among officials and experts. At the same time, in Russia, the majority spoke about him and his prospects without optimism, while abroad the Russian currency was called and is called almost the most promising.

One of the first media outlets to come out with positive forecasts for the ruble was Bloomberg (Why is Bloomberg betting on the ruble?), which has never been distinguished by loyalty to the Russian leadership, with the exception of the financial and economic block of the government.



Apparently, based on this, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov this week decided in a detailed interview with Bloomberg correspondents to talk very frankly about what the last soft devaluation of the ruble gave Russia.

Bloomberg called it soft, but for Russians it did not come as a shock just because it happened during the first wave of coronavirus. Since then, little has changed, although the ruble also approached the second wave of COVID-19 clearly not in the best condition. He overcame, and already, it seems, finally, the psychologically important milestone of 90 to the euro.

This in no way diminished optimism among foreign analysts about the prospects for the Russian currency, and they are with obvious satisfaction replicating the statements of the Russian minister in favor of a weak ruble.

The Russian press did not hear anything like this from the Minister of Industry and Trade; they had to reprint it from Bloomberg. According to him, the ruble, which has fallen significantly in exchange rate, is beneficial primarily for those companies that do not depend on imports.

It is not easy to say how many of them are in Russia today, but clearly not as many as Mr. Manturov would probably like. And clearly less than it was during the first global devaluation of the ruble after the default in 1998.

Then the rate on the weak ruble worked quite well, albeit in combination with a number of more stringent measures. Starting with fixing non-payments and ending with the tightening of currency and export controls.

Nevertheless, Denis Manturov, like Bloomberg analysts, is also ready to radiate optimism. He has no doubts that the fall in the ruble exchange rate will reorient enterprises to the domestic market.


Completely forgetting that a colossal share of currently operating enterprises in Russia is either screwdriver assemblies of components coming from abroad, or plants and factories operating on foreign raw materials.

And how they should reorient themselves is a big question.

Trite, but true


Banal misconceptions almost always have to be refuted by equally banal arguments. However, this does not negate the need for these arguments to be heard as regularly as the controversial statements of officials.

So, we quote from Manturov: the weakening of the ruble is beneficial to Russian exporters - fertilizer producers, gold mining and metallurgical companies. And there is even a clarification: "their pre-tax profit will grow by 10-20 percent."

The minister simply forgot about the oil and gas workers, and perhaps justifiably: they are recouping for losses due to the decline in oil and, as a result, gas prices, just on the domestic market. And in Russia, gasoline prices are growing, while all over the world they are decreasing.

The minister did not focus on the fact that a weak ruble is beneficial for those who have minimal debts in foreign currency and a large share of ruble expenses. The journalists did it for him. But they did not pay attention to the fact that such companies are by no means the majority in Russia, and they now also have serious problems with the fall in demand.

The minister did not hide his joy for those companies that are not heavily dependent on imports. They are, in his words, "now in an advantageous position." Specifically, Mr. Manturov did not name anyone, and he would hardly be able to: such enterprises have long been no longer among the leaders of the Russian market, and they by no means try to keep themselves in sight.

The limit of the minister's banal optimism was not exhausted by this. He decided to express the hope that "the peak is over", and at the same time to note that "the recovery in many industries has been very rapid." For my part, I would like to remind the minister that the effect of a low base must have worked here: it seems that there was almost nowhere to fall.

And prices will rise again


In parallel with the speculations about the Russian ruble, which were too similar to a sanctioned impromptu, Minister Manturov decided to remind our colleagues that the Russian economy was recovering in the summer after the cancellation of some of the sanitary measures introduced earlier due to the new coronavirus.

In this context, the official preferred to remain silent about the second wave, but made his forecast for the reduction of industrial production in Russia. Bloomberg reports that, according to the minister's estimates, it could reach 4,5% by the end of the year.

Someone always has reason to believe that it is good that the depreciation of the ruble allows them to take more successful competitive positions. But there are too many factors that do not allow us to stay on the devaluation needle indefinitely.

And among them, such as sharply increased spending on tourism, as well as the inability to buy currencies for a rainy day, are far from in the first place. Much more dangerous now is the prospect of practically inevitable inflation. And it will not be slowed down even by a greatly reduced consumer demand

The thing is that the Russian market is literally overflowing with goods, either simply imported, or with a solid contribution of imported raw materials or components to the cost price. As soon as stocks from old purchases in warehouses run out, expect an inevitable rise in prices.

The games of petrol kings will certainly affect the rise in prices. Having won back against you and me, they not only covered the losses in exports, but also further stimulated the fall of the ruble in order to win also on taxes.

We can only remember that the transport component in Russia is far from the smallest component in the final price of a particular product. And it is unlikely that it will be possible to compensate for it by lowering the level of staff pay.

There is one more important subtlety, which is not always paid attention to when speaking for a weak ruble. It only seems that the depreciation of the national currency will untie the hands of the same Central Bank in order to print more rubles and maintain high liquidity.

With liquidity and a cheap ruble, huge problems will remain. In addition, because of the low and, moreover, regularly decreasing by sharp jumps in the ruble exchange rate, we are unable to take root and low credit interest. Banks simply insure themselves against a fall in the exchange rate by overstating the difference in the rates at which they give money to someone or accept deposits.

        What is the conscience under capitalism? This moral obligation, based on the moral philosophy and value system of the individual, simply interferes with achieving success in the current paradigm of the market "thinking". Remember TD Dunning with his: "There is no such crime that capital would not go for the sake of 300% profit."
        Probably not worth explaining the fact that the representatives of the current government represent the interests in this very government, not the proletarians. hi

          It's simple: the state has all its savings in gold reserves, and social obligations to the population are salaries, pensions, benefits and other payments in rubles. The lower the ruble exchange rate, the less gold reserves is needed for various payments to the population. However, a weak currency, and even coupled with sanctions restrictions, especially in terms of lending to Russians in Western banks, is an unambiguous verdict of the business activity of the population, demand, etc. ruble is an economic disaster, a direct path to the impoverishment and bankruptcy of the majority of the country's population ...

The USSR economy accounted for 20% of the world economy and grew at 6% per year. And the empty counters were organized by the party nomenclature. Both their names and their actions are now known.

                  Well, the USSR did not make any special gifts, but always had economic and political benefits from its "gifts". It became possible for the outspoken enemy Turkey to build at his own expense a gas pipeline and a nuclear power plant only in the Russian Federation. And investments in the military-industrial complex of the USSR are still protecting today's Russia from external invasion. Prominent Russian historians and economists, such as Spitsyn, Fursov, Khazin, Delyagin and many others, have thoroughly studied who destroyed the USSR. This is no longer a secret.

The wealthiest, the last of the Ryabushinskys, passed away in a hospital for the homeless, although for some time he even owned a bank in London.

        Lenin gave an answer to this question, which, by the way, was tested in practice. The lower classes no longer want, the upper circles can absolutely nothing, but a party has not yet emerged that can rally the energy of the masses. Otherwise, it will be like in 91, when the discontent of the masses was used in its own interests by the liberal party, which matured in the depths of the top of the CPSU. And social networks are now just an analogue of a rally. A person expresses his thoughts, recognizes strangers and thinks. No more mistakes.

    The companies operating for export are satisfied with the devaluation of the ruble. And this, in the overwhelming majority, is the sale of natural resources. And it is the representatives of the management of these companies (the lobby) who will stand with both hands for the depreciation of the Russian currency. Accordingly, all their efforts and actions will be directed towards this.

      but another question is that an even wider range of products is being imported, and as a result, it turns out that there are not only fewer people who benefit from the cheap ruble and exports, and with each fall of the ruble their number decreases even more relative to those whose living standards are falling.

    Duc - it is clear that the weak ruble is beneficial exclusively to commodity hucksters. It could be profitable for its producers of consumer goods, but alas - for 30 years of capitalism, the bourgeoisie have not learned to independently produce national goods. Everything is either imported or with an imported kit. And consequently - such a policy is nothing more than compensation at the expense of the already poor people for the lost income of alligators. Everything else is just verbal husk. And in another way - under capitalism it will not be, because fairy tales about the type of national-patriotic capital are just fierce delirium. In principle, this does not exist. And the capitalist only benefits from selling the remnants of the Soviet past, no one is going to produce anything here. It is in the interests of this bunch of rich men that our dear president and no less dear government act. The situation can be changed only by changing the tuning. And nothing else.

      Will not work. There is no full cycle production. And the drop in income is all over the world. Ours are preparing for inflation on the dollar, and you can also get into your pocket. In general, the leaders are rotten. How you can vote for Putin since 2014, I don't understand. No, Crimea is objectively needed. But gentlemen, why did you wait until the cock bites in the ass? Why was it impossible to do this earlier? It would have been a year of transition in peacetime, or they would have put their president there ... Belarus is next in line by the way.

In the Filatovsky hospital in Moscow, doctors receive 35-40 thousand - is that a lot? Pay normally and there will be no corruption among doctors.

    Why verbiage? He described the current state of affairs quite clearly, the government and commodity corporations are satisfied with the weakening of the ruble.

    Ehhh ... with what nostalgia I remember about:

    It is not easy to say how many of them are in Russia today, but clearly not as many as Mr. Manturov would probably like. And clearly less than it was during the first global devaluation of the ruble after the default in 1998.

    Our company then kept the price tag in dollars (then it was still allowed), the dollar went up 4 times, a quarter of clients - also firms - really went bankrupt, but !!! laughing I then for the first time in my life allowed myself to ride a six-hundredth Mercedes as a taxi bully the prices remained practically the same, and the income at our company increased roughly three times wassat

    Nothing seems to be for a long time. It has been obvious to everyone for a long time that people get poorer every year, when the Manurovs and others like them get richer. And there is no one to ask from them. Well, there is no one yet.

    A financial and raw material colony of the West, such as the Russian Federation, does not need a national currency at all. Glass beads or just green cut paper are enough. There are enough candy wrappers to sell oil, gas, timber and metals to the West for next to nothing. At the head of the Russian Federation is non-Russian power, and nothing belongs to the Russians in the Russian Federation. The aluminum industry of the Russian Federation, PJSC Sberbank of the Russian Federation - in the hands of the United States and England, for example. The entire financial block and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation are also controlled by the USA and the IMF. Only fools cannot understand in any way that the Russian Federation is not a sovereign state like China, but simply a colony headed by a Gauleiter subordinate in all the interests of the West.
