Ulyukayev advises to abandon the currency

Ulyukayev advises to abandon the currencyDespite the continuing growth of the rate of the main world currencies against the Russian ruble, the financial authorities of the Russian Federation convince the population and business that there is no need to transfer funds into foreign currency. “It seems to me that my colleagues in the central bank are rather efficiently moving towards inflationary charging, towards a freely floating ruble regime. The current level of fluctuation is not lower than it was several years ago. That is, there is no sense for the population or business to switch from rubles in foreign currency and back, "- said the head of the Ministry of economic development of Russia Alexei Ulyukayev.

Recall that the Bank of Russia plans to switch to pure inflationary pricing from 2015, when the inflation target will be an unconditional priority in monetary policy.

"This is a game in which the population always loses and the one who receives the conversion fee wins. I am deeply convinced that there will not be a high rate volatility and it will be moderate," Ulyukayev said on the air of the Final NTV program.

According to the minister, the level of world oil prices in the foreseeable future will remain stable, which, in turn, will protect the ruble from significant fluctuations. "Oil prices are a serious matter, as global changes have occurred in the commodity market. It seems to me that the forecast values ​​that we are appealing with now are $ 101 per barrel, which we now have for the near future, is reasonable and very “Very worthy", - summed up the head of the Ministry of Economic Development.

Meanwhile, confidence in the inviolability of world oil prices has recently been called into question because of sharply increased economic risks in China. One by one, experts talked about the danger of a liquidity crisis and the collapse of the PRC banking system due to the extremely low quality of loans. If such a crisis does occur, the status quo prevailing in the oil market may well be destroyed and the price of black gold, largely supported by China, will go down.

But the main threat to the position of the ruble remains concerns related to the imminent collapse of the US Federal Reserve program of quantitative easing, or in fact, reducing the dollar supply in the market. The slowdown of the American printing press will increase the attractiveness of the dollar on the market. In this case, the appreciation of the US currency against the ruble will be almost guaranteed, regardless of the situation around oil.

The head of the Federal Reserve has more than once opaquely hinted at the imminent curtailment of the program, which seems to start sooner or later. If this all adds up to a reduction in the cost of oil and the inevitable increase in capital outflows, the weakening of the ruble can be very significant.

It is worthwhile for people and businesses to create their own foreign exchange reserves with such prospects - it is up to them to decide.

    Dollars are definitely not worth buying.
    The external debt of the US government (only the government) is 16,8 trillion dollars, for clarity, a billion bucks in cash in banknotes 100 dollars in volume will take about 1 railway carriage, then the US debt is 16800 carriages of money, or 240 freight trains, or 4 medium container ships, or more than one of the largest container ship. And this debt is growing by 3,5 wagons per day.

      Its inflation is on average = 3%, and so on around the world.
      All the ups and downs are due to the games of central banks (in our case, the dollar value is overestimated by about 65% against the ruble, but in reality it costs somewhere around 18-19 rubles).

      If it crashes when it crashes, it will be a deliberate collapse, unprofitable for anyone in the current conditions, especially since the financial wealth of the "elites" is also stored in dollar terms - the buck will be kept to the last, and that's all.

    ... Any instability in the world leads to an increase in the dollar exchange rate and an increase in demand for it in the world. Gold is even better, but the dollar is more affordable and seems to people more reliable, therefore, when the national currency depreciates, many tend to buy the growing dollar, if, of course, there are "extra" savings. ... So it is worth sowing instability - by doing so, the US increases the demand for the dollar, which is the main item of their export. There is also the euro, but lately, a strong euro currency is not needed primarily by the US itself, so they are drowning the EU. How does this situation affect Russia? Academician Glazyev
    ...
    The monetary policy pursued by the Russian Central Bank is a continuation of the policy of the US Federal Reserve System: Our Central Bank prints rubles only for the purchase of foreign currency. Moreover, currency regulation is virtually completely absent, and we are de facto part of the American financial system ”
    .
    That is, the Central Bank printed rubles for the purchase of dollars. When he sells currency, on the contrary, he “swallows up” rubles
    As a result, there is a contraction of the ruble money supply. All gold and foreign currency reserves (gold and foreign exchange reserves) of the Central Bank should support the entire volume of the national currency. There are fewer dollars in gold and foreign currency reserves - the volume of the national currency in the economy should also decrease proportionally.
    During the crisis, all “Westerners” want to buy dollars in order to bring them abroad. The lack of dollars on the exchange makes up for the Central Bank. Having sold dollars, he receives rubles from the “speculator”. These rubles are destroyed, they disappear to nowhere.
    Purely theoretically, the Russian economy can remain without rubles at all. Therefore, the Central Bank just in a period of instability and reduces the ruble against the dollarThen the total money supply of rubles will be significant, with a reduction in the number of dollars in gold reserves. That is why during a crisis the dollar always rises in price and non-reserve currencies, including our ruble, always become cheaper.
    It is such a preventive depreciation of the ruble, in anticipation of a new crisis, we have observed recently. the ruble exchange rate (hryvnia, dollar, euro) today has nothing to do with the state of the state economy. Exchange rates live a completely separate life, so you should not panic over a cheaper ruble, especially since there are not so many of them, and this is almost 80% of the country's population. Moreover, prices for services and goods are rising regardless of whether the exchange rate is favorable or not.

For all crises, the USA needs to pay, and not vice versa, when all crises bring benefits to America! - It is imperative that the whole world should (!) Lower the dollar rate!

      The US dollar has not been tied to gold for a long time ..
      Forty-two years ago, a rather radical event occurred. The then US president, Richard Nixon, canceled the Bretton Woods agreement. Under this agreement, world currencies were pegged to the US dollar, and the US dollar itself was pegged to gold. Formally, the central banks of other countries could require the United States to convert dollars into gold bullion. Although in practice this happened very rarely. Then the reason for refusing to link the US dollar with gold bars was largely due to the need to give flexibility to the exchange rates of various currencies. According to monetary theory, tight pegging of world currencies to the US dollar significantly limited the possibilities of world trade. At the same time, the binding of the US dollar to gold was generally considered as an anachronism, which only interferes with the global economy. And this is really correct. With all due respect to gold, by the beginning of the 70s, gold bullion was not as desirable on the world market as, for example, a barrel of oil. The times of the "gold rush" have gone down in history. Most likely, Nixon's decision was correct. It is flexible exchange rates that have created the world economy that we can observe today, with its huge capital market and rapidly growing global trading market.

      stifled volatility, this is when it is in a narrow range from 29 to 31

      in the second case, profits of speculators become less

      it is not clear why Ulyukaev called the currency speculators (individuals and legal entities) the population? :)

    And why not start selling the same oil to the West for rubles yourself ... well, at some point it will be unprofitable ... but at the same time there should be demand for the ruble and, accordingly, its value.

        Well, don’t tell, don’t tell ... Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems to me that it’s not the West that rule with oil and gas, but the very opposite. Here, most likely the reason is that our cheeks do not want to lose profits.

    People are waiting for default - loans depreciate! But seriously - when officials say that everything is fine - wait for the collapse ....

    Better to invest in something. For example, in the purchase of "Kalashnikov", I'm sure it will come in handy soon

    Quickly pay off and inflation is nothing! laughing
