Businessman Oleg Deripaska commented on the increase in the key rate of the Central Bank to 20% in the context of the financial crisis caused by sanctions for Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine.
“Raising the rate, the mandatory sale of foreign currency (now they will still remember that at the rate set by the Central Bank on the date of the settlements) – this is the first test of who will actually be responsible for this banquet, – wrote Deripaska in his Telegram channel. “I really want clarifications and intelligible comments on the economic policy of the next three months.”
