This is a new measure to strengthen financial stability in Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, as Topnews previously wrote, restricted the withdrawal of currency abroad, imposed a ban on the withdrawal of currency from the country in the amount of more than 10 thousand dollars.
Both the decree signed the day before and Putin’s new order became a special economic measure in response to the sanctions of the United States and its allies to protect the national interests of the Russian Federation, as well as to ensure financial stability in the country.
The new order comes into force on March 2.
Also, from this day on, a special procedure for transactions in respect of shares and real estate with foreign persons from unfriendly countries is introduced in Russia.
Non-residents are prohibited from issuing ruble loans without the approval of the government Commission for Foreign Investment Control.
In addition, Putin instructed not to extend new restrictions on transactions with foreign persons and foreign currency to the Central Bank.
It is worth noting that according to the FOM, the level of confidence in Putin in Russia has increased from 60% to 71% over the past week.
The main factor that influenced public opinion was the recognition of the LPR and the DPR. At the same time, only 18% of respondents expressed distrust of the Russian leader.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that on the eve of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced a ban on the exit of foreign business from Russian assets.
