The words of Vladimir Zelensky were incorrectly translated in English-language Facebook.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky provoked the collapse of the markets with his appeal to compatriots.

According to the American agency Bloomberg, traders reacted to the sarcasm of the Ukrainian leader.

Recall that in his message to Ukrainians Zelensky spoke about the date of February 16, declaring it the Day of Unity of Ukrainians.

At the same time, the translator on Facebook did not quite correctly translate his words from Ukrainian into English.

“We are told that February 16 will be the day of the attack. We will make it a Day of Unity ”, – he said.

At the same time, the robots of the social network took his words as confirmation of the invasion of Russia into Ukraine, and the phrase “we seem to be” was translated as “we are told”.

As a result, due to Zelensky’s words in the markets, the S&P 500 index fell by 1.2%, oil rose above $ 95 per barrel.

Later, the adviser to the head of the presidential administration of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, said that the words of the country’s leader should be understood as irony, after which the losses in the market were won back.

As topNews wrote, Vladimir Zelensky recorded a video message to Ukrainians.

He told his compatriots about serious challenges for the country, noted the pressure on Ukraine, and also pointed out the strength of his state.

Speaking about the “foreign” army near the Ukrainian borders, he said that the armed Forces of the country have something to oppose the enemy.

Analysts criticize the regulator for using not the most effective method.

The Central Bank of Russia announced the raising of the key rate to 9.5%. Information about this appeared on February 11 on the regulator’s website.

At the same time, the Central Bank has published a new inflation forecast, which will be 5-6% together with the previously predicted 4-4.5%.

The average key rate, according to information, will be up to 11% in 2022 (previously up to 8.3%). The indicators of forecasts for the next two years have also increased: in 2023 – up to 7.5-9%, 2024 – 5-6%.

Analysts Znak.com it is reported that the decision of the Central Bank led to the collapse of the Russian segment of the stock market. So, by noon on February 11, the Moscow Stock Exchange index fell by 3.66%, RTS – by 4.48%. Tinkoff, Sberbank, Gazprom and Magnit flew down.

Recall that the key rate is the annual interest rate at which the Central Bank gives loans to commercial banks and accepts deposits. With a low CS, the level of credit availability for the population is high. The growth may be justified by an attempt to contain ruble inflation.

The indicator has been increasing for the 8th time since March 2021. During this time, it has grown from 4.25% to 9.5%.

According to experts, such actions of the regulator do not help to cope with the inflation of the ruble. As a result, in February, the price increase may reach 9%. And this, in turn, will raise the interest on deposits and, in the future, will cause an increase in consumer demand.

At the same time, there is an extremely negative side for Russians.

“Such dynamics…. it will hit the mortgage market and, accordingly, the housing construction sector,” said expert “MK” Sergey Suverov (UK “Arikapital ”).

Artem Deev, an analyst at Amarkets, told the media that there are other ways to reduce the inflation rate of the ruble. So, he called the increase in the cost of fuel, utilities, imports, logistics, labor, taxes, excise duties and duties.

At the same time, the increase in the Central Bank will not allow the ruble to level off in a short time. It will take several months, against the backdrop of rising world import prices, fuel, housing and utilities tariffs, to slow down the ruble exchange rate.

“The more expensive money from the Central Bank for Russian banks, the more expensive loans and higher deposit rates”, – the analyst is sure.

So, in his opinion, loan rates will increase by 0.5-1%, mortgage interest will be 10-11%, car loans – 12-14%, consumer loans – 15-16%.

Analysts are confident that the Central Bank’s decision will not lead to a recession, but to a continuation of inflation growth, and a drop to 10% is possible already in the coming spring.

Only the banking sector will benefit from such a decision, which will be able to increase the turnover of loans and profits.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that the Central Bank proposed to introduce a total ban on cryptocurrency in Russia.

The EU continues to negotiate with the USA and Norway on alternative supplies.

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, was outraged by the “strange” way of doing business, which, in her opinion, is used by the Russian company Gazprom.

According to Reuters, according to der Leyen, record high gas prices are registered in Europe, while the policy of the company, which does not want to increase the supply of natural gas, is puzzling.

At a press conference with German media, she said that such an economic policy should be regarded as the Kremlin’s desire to use fuel supplies as a means of political pressure. And there are more and more signs of this, the head of the EC believes.

As a result, the European Union continues to negotiate with possible gas suppliers to redirect the flow of fuel if Moscow decides to stop supplies due to strained relations with Europe.

Today, Russia’s share in the continent’s gas imports is 40%.

“We are building a partnership with the USA,.. with other suppliers, for example with Norway,” the head of the EC said.

According to Gazprom, last year the company’s production reached a record for 13 years of 514.8 billion cubic meters of gas.

Deliveries to Non-CIS countries increased by 5.8 billion to 185.1 billion cubic meters over the year.

The management of the holding company responded to critics’ statements that the volume of European supplies is the maximum possible under already concluded contracts.

In order for the volume of fuel to grow, we need a specific buyer who will fulfill certain conditions under the contract. The EU agrees that Russia fulfills the contracts, which does not prevent shifting the blame to Moscow for its energy crisis.

Russian suppliers point out that the situation would have been different if Brussels had not refused long-term contracts. Recall that according to the Third Energy Package introduced by him, one company is prohibited from occupying more than 50% of the capacity of gas pipelines.

As Topnews wrote earlier, the Russian company suspended gas supplies to Germany through the Yamal-Europe SE.

They include citizens from 24 to 35 years old.

The Russian authorities estimate the volume of the cryptocurrency market in Russia to exceed $214 billion (16.5 trillion rubles).

According to Bloomberg, citing government sources, based on these data, analysts intend to develop a strategy for regulating the sphere.

Media experts pay attention to the fact that the declared amount is about 12% of the price of crypto assets in the world.

It is also a third of the value of the main financial index of the Russian Federation. However, they believe that the amount may be higher, and the official data are underestimated due to the tendency of traders to hide their activities from the authorities.

According to the CoinMarketCap resource, the global capital of the cryptocurrency market is currently estimated at almost $ 1.75 trillion.

In turn, the TripleA payment gateway (Singapore) provides information that in Russia about 12% of the population (over 17 million people) are owners of one or another cryptocurrency.

Bloomberg sources say that the owners of the new type of money in 60% of cases are citizens from 25 to 44 years old.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that the Central Bank proposed to completely exclude the Russian market from mining and other operations with cryptocurrency.

After discussion by the media and experts, Russian leader Vladimir Putin expressed his opinion, who called on financiers and their opponents to come to a common opinion and report it publicly.

According to journalists, Ukraine buys Russian fuel through intermediaries.

According to Ukrainian media, the gas that Ukraine started buying from Hungary was originally shipped from Russia.

As “Country writes.ua” in its Telegram channel, Kiev buys “all the same Russian gas ”.

However, intermediaries – Slovakia and Hungary are used for this.

Journalists note that the start of gas supplies coincided with the arrival of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Moscow.

Following a meeting with Vladimir Putin, the Hungarian Prime Minister said that the countries could agree on additional supplies of another billion cubic meters of gas per year.

Recall that in September 2021 Hungary signed an agreement with Gazprom. The document provides for the supply of 4.5 billion cubic meters of gas every year for 15 years.

Hungary’s decision surprised and disappointed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

Kiev called such a decision of Budapest“exclusively political”, emphasizing the economic groundlessness of the agreement.

Earlier, topNews wrote that there was a sharp jump in gas prices in Europe.

In the West, the situation was linked to the activities of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Experts have noticed that no country has tried to introduce such a comprehensive package of sanctions against Russia before.

Recently, the United States announced a new package of sanctions against Russia in the event of its invasion of Ukraine, which, among other things, includes sanctions against the country’s leader Vladimir Putin personally.

Analysts of The New York Times have made a forecast of how these sanctions will affect the global financial system. And the prognosis is quite sad.

Experts have noticed that no country has tried to introduce such an extensive package of sanctions against Russia before.

It is noted that this may lead to disorder in the economies of developed countries, especially those located in Europe, since the Kremlin’s retaliatory measures will follow the US sanctions.

Following the European economy, the world economy will also be shaken.

One example of retaliatory sanctions is the delineation of gas supplies to Europe.

In turn, Politico journalist Matthew Karnichnig believes that anti-Russian sanctions will lead to an increase in world commodity prices, followed by high inflation, financial panic and a stock market crash.

Fyodor Lukyanov, Director of Scientific Work at the Valdai International Discussion Club, partially agreed with the forecast of foreign analysts.

In his opinion, the United States uses sanctions as a game of retention, as well as to replace the conflict. However, none of them seeks to unleash hostilities, the expert is sure.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that the United States decided not to impose sanctions against Putin for a “technical” reason.

At the same time, the reason for the introduction of new sanctions remains unchanged – this is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  

The list of persons from the entourage of the President of Russia, against whom sanctions will be imposed by the United States, has already been prepared.

According to a Financial Times source, the list includes high-ranking officials and representatives of the executive branch, as well as representatives of state-owned companies and families who are on the boards of directors.

All of them are part of the inner circle of the Kremlin and their opinion is taken into account when making decisions at the state level, or at least they are involved in the destabilizing behavior of the Kremlin.

However, the source of the publication did not disclose the full list by name, but in the West they are vulnerable because they have financial ties abroad, including the United States and Europe.

It is noted that the imposition of sanctions will literally cut them off from Western privileges, including the opportunity to study at Western universities and much more.

At the same time, the reason for the introduction of new sanctions remained unchanged – this is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that US sanctions against Russia will lead to the collapse of the financial system of the world.

The law will allow not to be left without minimum means of living for every Russian debtor.

For Russian pensioners, February will be a month of changes in the areas of tax payment, indexation time and other changes that come into force under Russian law.

According to MK, the first will be the indexation of pensions by 8.6%, which is already being prepared in the FIU.

If in January pensioners received a payment with an indexation of only 5.9%, then in February they will be paid the difference from the previous indexation index to the new one of 8.6%. The allowance will be accrued automatically and will come with a pension in February.

Recall that only insurance pensions and non-working pensioners are indexed. The Federation Council said that the average amount of monthly payments after that will be 19,000 rubles.

The second innovation will be the growth of EDV for two categories of Russians – disabled and combat veterans, Chernobyl victims and other beneficiaries, the number of which in Russia is equal to 15 million.

Their monthly cash payment will be indexed by 8.4%, so its size will coincide with the level of last year’s inflation.

From February 1, Russians will have to pay a new tax “ On bank deposits ”. It will affect only savings from 1 million, or from income over 42,500 rubles, which were received as a percentage of the deposit.

The law stipulates that the tax is charged only on certain amounts. The calculation is done by multiplying 1 million rubles by 4.25% – the Central Bank’s key rate on 01.01.2021.

They will be able to transfer payments under the new tax, which pensioners also have to make, until December 1, 2022. They will receive a notification from the Federal Tax Service indicating the size.

Finally, on February 1, the law on guarantees for the preservation of debtors’ salary or pension balance will begin to work. Now bailiffs, writing off debts, will leave an amount equal to the subsistence minimum on the account.

Its average level in Russia is 13,793 rubles. However, if it is higher in the region, then the amount on the account will also be higher.

In order to keep the money inviolable, debtors will have to apply to the local UFSSP with a statement, so as not to be without minimum income for life.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that it is waiting for Russians from January 1, 2022.

The head of the enterprise named the reasons for the undesirable decision.

According to the CEO of KAMAZ Sergey Kogogin, after a long effort, the company’s management decided to abandon the production of military equipment. In addition, cooperation with Rostec has been reduced.

The reason for this decision was Western sanctions.

Kogogin mentioned that the company had been in the red zone since 2014, from which it risked falling under restrictive measures.

To prevent this from happening, it was necessary to reduce the share of cooperation with Rostec, which was done, he explained.

The second task, to abandon the production of products ordered by the Ministry of Defense, was also solved.

The company that produces it is currently withdrawn from the concern. Moreover, purely military equipment “KAMAZ ” is no longer produced.

In a conversation with Tina Kandelaki on the program “ Special Guest”, he explained that the concern cannot ignore sanctions because it needs “Western solutions ” and is embedded in the global automotive industry.

It is technologically impossible to produce all the parts inside the country.

Kogogin explained that over the past few years, the production of many components has been transferred to the country.

He called the conditions of the pandemic and the political instability in the world the reason. There are also parts that are easier to produce abroad, for example, if gearboxes are more profitable to make in Russia, then synchronizers are in Germany.

As Topnews wrote earlier, “KAMAZ” held a presentation of the first Russian electric car “Kama-1 ”.
