The situation with payments by Russian importers to China and Turkey continues to deteriorate.
There is no sign of improvement in the settlement market.
This was stated in a conversation with Business FM by the senior partner of the company "Optimalog" Georgiy Vlastopoulos.
He explained that Even regional banks in China have begun to block payments from Russia.
In addition, the situation on the settlement market has not improved.
Moreover, the value of imports has fallen by 10 percent in the six months since the beginning of the year.
Vlastopoulos also noted that in physical terms the indicator rebounded by 15 percent.
At the same time, a sharp decline in purchases from the European Union has been recorded – by 25 percent year-on-year.
The payment issue with Turkey remains unresolved and is further aggravated by further uncertainty.
