🇷🇺 Russia has hit a historic milestone in its payment structure! For the first time, 53.5% of all import payments were settled using the Russian ruble. This trend is growing, with 49.6% of payments to Asian countries and an impressive 45.8% in Latin America now using rubles. Irina Pykhtina from RosDorBank highlights the benefits: these payments are free from unilateral sanctions and not tracked, allowing businesses to operate more freely. While challenges like the ruble's volatility exist, solutions like pegging to stable currencies are paving the way for a new financial landscape. With the digital ruble and BRICS payment system on the horizon, the future looks promising! What are your thoughts on this shift? Let us know! 👇
