The name of the buyer of the stake in the group of companies has been named.

The media found out about the sale of 35% of the shares of the Tinkoff group by entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov. The billionaire, who criticized the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, decided to get rid of his stake in the TCS Group, which owns Tinkoff Bank, Tinkoff Insurance and other assets.

It turned out that the shares were acquired by Vladimir Potanin’s company Interros.

Oleg Tinkov himself confirmed that he got rid of assets in a bank named after him.

According to Tinkov, he and his team built the best bank in the country from scratch – “the best digital bank in the world and based in Russia.” Tinkov is proud of this achievement.

“Now it’s time to retire and take care of health and family,” says Oleg Tinkov.

The head of MMC Norilsk Nickel, Vladimir Potanin, also confirmed the deal and noted that it is beneficial for everyone. Interros is interested in Tinkoff continuing to occupy a leading position.

The businessman said that the company’s investments and the unique experience of Tinkoff managers will be “a good impetus for the further development of the group’s business.” All this will lead to a modern and high-class service for its customers.

Recall that Oleg Tinkov has been fighting cancer for several years, is being treated abroad and complained that there is no database of bone marrow donors in Russia. The billionaire decided to invest 200 billion rubles in this and create it from scratch.

After criticizing the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, Oleg Tinkov tried to disown the bank and covered customers with obscenities.

As a result, as Topnews wrote, the Russians launched a challenge and began massively destroying bank cards.

Soon there was news that the management of Tinkoff decided to change the name of the bank and wished Oleg Tinkov health. The sale of assets of TCS Group Tinkov was associated with his statements.

The dollar fell to 71 rubles.

The Bank of Russia announced a reduction in the key rate to 14% from 17%.

In a statement, the regulator said that despite the difficult economic conditions that constrain activity in various sectors of the economy, the risks that have been increasing over the past few months have decreased, which made it possible to reduce the interest rate.

As for further decisions, the bank intends to take into account the dynamics of inflation against the background of the restructuring of the Russian economic structure, as well as external and internal threats and the reaction of financial markets, reports MK.

At the same time, as RIA Novosti points out, the dollar exchange rate has fallen significantly, to 71 rubles per unit.

Judging by the data of the Moscow Stock Exchange, at 11.47 am, the dollar exchange rate fell by 1.1 rubles (70.98), the euro by 61 kopecks (74.76).

The last time such a minimum was observed was in November last year.

The central bank set the dollar exchange rate for Friday at 72.3 rubles, the euro at 75.3 rubles.

In addition, on the morning of April 29, the price per barrel of Brent oil increased by 0.9% ($ 108.22), WTI — 0.54% (105.92).

As Topnews wrote earlier, experts report an imminent reversal of the dollar exchange rate and call the timing.

So far, the ruble is supported by an excess of foreign currency due to the expanded trade balance of the Russian Federation.

Recently, the ruble exchange rate against the dollar and other world currencies has strengthened. This became possible thanks to a number of measures taken by the Russian government, explained the chief analyst of Promsvyazbank Egor Zhilnikov in a conversation with PRIME.

The excess of foreign currency against the background of the expansion of the trade balance became possible due to restrictions on imports into the country.

In addition, the demand for the Russian ruble has increased, as an increasing number of countries (Bloomberg names 10 countries) make payments for Russian gas in rubles by opening accounts with Gazprombank.

And finally, the tax period against the background of the end of the winter season also formed the dollar supply.

The abolition of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation of currency control and the commission for the purchase of dollars at 12% also played a positive role.

However, the latter measure, according to the expert, may in the near future both increase foreign currency liquidity and reduce it.

As a result, the dollar can show both a rebound to the level of 75 rubles, and a further fall.

“Most likely, the trade balance in May will begin to narrow against the background of the recovery of imports into the country, as well as the correction of overheated prices in the energy market. This may well bring the ruble into more fundamentally sound ranges,” the expert believes.

In turn, Alexander Bakhtin, investment strategist at BCS World of Investments, also came to the conclusion that the ruble exchange rate next month will depend on the decisions of the Bank of Russia to ease currency controls, as well as external conditions.

However, already today the basic forecast shows the growth of the dollar against the ruble to 80-82 rubles immediately after the holidays in May.

At the same time, none of the options is favorable for Russia, since if the dollar exchange rate rises to 85-90 rubles or more, only inflationary pressure will show, and the strengthening of the ruble to 72 and below will damage the budget’s fullness.

The Finance Minister said that it is difficult to assess the prospects of the economy, because the number of countries that refuse oil has not been established.

The head of the Accounts Chamber, Alexei Kudrin, at a meeting of lawmakers in St. Petersburg, said that Russia needs to be prepared for a “very difficult situation” that will last for one or two years.

According to him, quoted by RIA Novosti, the economic crisis will last longer than in 2009, and will be more serious than during the coronavirus pandemic.

He also pointed to a strong increase in inflation, which will amount to 20.7% this year, and will exceed 6% in 2023.

In such a situation, the economist believes, it is necessary to soberly assess your resources and strength, assuming that the Russian economy will face strong differentiation in the near future.

Kudrin also explained that there is uncertainty about how the regional economy will react to the increase in the cost of products, the decline in exports and the rupture of logistics ties.

 “We have reached a new line,” the head of the Accounting Chamber believes.

Kudrin suggested that the economy of Russian regions in the near future will be very differentiated due to sanctions.

However, according to him, it is not yet completely clear how the breaking of chains, the increase in cost, the decline in exports will affect the economy of our regions.

In turn, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the production of fuel – oil and gas – from the previous volume will be reduced by 17% this year.

The expert called the reason for the refusal of a number of European countries to purchase it.

He could not name the exact number of production declines, having determined only the percentage ratio of volumes.

“How sales will continue to be conducted, it is still difficult to estimate”, — RIA Novosti quotes the head of the Ministry of Finance.

The Agency assesses the consequences of the refusal for the federal budget, but the assessment cannot be accurate, because the number of countries-refuseniks is not truly known.

“If they refuse in one place, then we will sell to others, ”, — he believes.

According to the head of the Ministry of Finance, there is no special damage from the refusal to pay for fuel in rubles. However, he believes that !volumes are declining, but prices are rising”, and the balance is maintained.

However, it is still difficult to determine the prospects, Siluanov assured.

As Topnews wrote earlier, the United Nations called the rejection of Russian fuel “madness”.

Matvienko also called on the country’s authorities to finally give freedom to business, otherwise she will personally come out with the appropriate poster in the government building.

Speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Valentina Matvienko at the next meeting made a sharp criticism of the current economic situation in the country.

She drew attention to the fact that the government is not doing anything after the stabilization of the ruble exchange rate at 75 rubles per dollar, while retail prices remain at the level of February, when there was a sharp increase in prices estimated from 30% to 70%.

For this reason, Matvienko called literally “ to rewrite the price tags ” for the old ones.

To do this, according to the Speaker, the government should take concrete measures against retail chains that continue to take advantage of the situation, which is unfair and unscrupulous.

“… citizens expected that now the price tags will be rewritten. No one has copied down. Why?”, – she asked.

Matvienko also called on the country’s authorities to finally give freedom to business, otherwise she will personally come out with the appropriate poster to the government building.

“Freedom for business! If there is no freedom of business, I will take a poster and go to the government with a poster,” Matvienko said.

In her opinion, for this it is necessary to give start-up capital for business development to entrepreneurs. After all, they are not only very enterprising, but also trying to create much-needed jobs in the current situation.

In her opinion, regional legislators will have to follow up on this.

The speaker of the Federation Council also tripled the public flogging of the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Dmitry Patrushev for the fact that his department does not pay due attention to the problems of farmers, which lies in the fact that their products are not taken either in large networks, schools, or hospitals. And not because of the poor quality of the products, but because of the short shelf life, or because of “feeding ”.

In addition to Patrushev, Anton Siluanov, Nikolai Zhuravlev, Anatoly Artamonov and other officials also got from Matvienko to the fact that many business support projects have not yet been completed.

“Well, give you these 2.5 billion to support flower growers. They don’t give it away. Dmitry Nikolaevich (Patrushev), of course, needs meat and milk. That’s right, he treats flowers badly. Well, you bring it to the end, penny support. Nikolay Andreevich (Deputy Matvienko) I’m making a remark to you! And Artamonov. Not brought to the end! You will not bring – there will be conclusions ”, – said Matvienko.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that an outraged Matvienko suggested that small businesses “fill up the whole of Russia with nails ”.

Details of Russian gas supplies to European countries have become known.

The American edition of Bloomberg reports that at least 10 companies from Europe that purchase Russian natural gas have opened accounts to pay for natural gas in rubles.

According to the agency, four companies have made payments for Russian gas in rubles.

In its material, the publication refers to a source close to Gazprom.

The next payments for gas are expected on May 15.

According to media reports, Poland and Bulgaria remain without gas, which was called blackmail in the European Union.

Austria initially decided to pay in rubles, and then stated that it pays in euros through opening an account with Gazprombank.

Recall that at the end of March, Russian President Vladimir Putin defined a new procedure for payments for gas.

“Unfriendly” buyers are ordered to make payments in Russian rubles.

According to the new scheme, such countries will transfer funds to Gazprombank in foreign currency, and the latter will purchase rubles on the stock exchange, and then transfer them to accounts in rubles. Then blue fuel will be paid from them.

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, buyers will continue to pay in euros, as specified in the contracts, but the final payment will be received by Gazprom in rubles.

Earlier, topNews wrote that Gazprom had warned Bulgaria about the termination of gas supplies.

Access to natural gas, as expected, will cease from April 27.

Poland, which refused to pay in rubles, received the same document.

The Bulgarian Ministry of Energy has announced that from April 27, supplies of liquefied natural gas from Russia will cease to the country.

As stated in the department, the day before, Bulgaz received a notification from the Russian side about the termination of supplies of natural gas from Gazprom LLC.

In turn, Sofia stated that she had fulfilled the terms of the contract in full, and the required payments to Russia had been made. Nevertheless

Recall that Warsaw received the same notification earlier, which refused to pay the amount required under the contract in Russian currency.

In turn, the Russian company in its telegram channel stated that at the end of the day on April 26, it had not received a ruble payment from Bulgargaz (Bulgaria) and PGNIG (Poland), which was required by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation on March 23 of this year and about which both transit companies were notified in advance.

“Payments for gas supplied from April 1 should be made in rubles using new details,” Gazprom said.

The company clarified that if transit countries join the selection of Russian gas bypassing the decision of the Russian side, the volume of supplies to third countries will be reduced by exactly the same amount.

As Topnews wrote earlier, the German energy company found it possible to pay for Russian LNG in euros.
