Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov expressed the opinion that Russians do not need to keep savings in dollars.
He emphasized that federal loan bonds are a safer and more profitable option for citizens’ savings.
According to Siluanov, Russians should no longer consider the dollar as the main way to store savings, TASS reports.
In the current economic situation, it is safer to invest in ruble assets and federal loan bonds.
Siluanov explained that sanctions and restricted access to markets make the dollar less attractive.
In addition, the state offers Russians long-term savings programs that help preserve and increase savings.
The Minister recommends paying attention to federal loan bonds and the long-term savings program.
A solid, profitable investment, he said.
Siluanov believes that Russians do not need dollars and suggests using the ruble for savings.
