Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, in an interview with journalists from Russian TV channels, told in what currency the citizens of the country are best able to keep their savings. Council of the head of government did not become a surprise. Medvedev noted that by now the ruble has loosened from the dollar and oil prices. Therefore, it is not so dependent on the external economic situation, as it was before. When deciding on which currency to keep the savings, it is necessary to understand what goals the person pursues (that is, whether he is ready for risky operations or prefers reliability), as well as what currency is paid in daily business. "Taking into account the fact that the overwhelming majority of our citizens keep their savings in rubles, pays in rubles and receives a salary in rubles," the answer is clear, where to store money, how to store stocks, "the prime minister said.. The national currency gained stability. The sharp appreciation of the ruble at the end of this year is not expected, but the situation will not repeat three years ago with a precipitous collapse in the value of the "wooden". "We really had a very difficult situation, when the ruble was subjected to such an impact, when we, in fact, moved to an open, free corridor. But nothing of the kind is predicted and imagined this year, "Medvedev said.. The Prime Minister described the situation in the financial system of the country as satisfactory.
"I believe that at the moment our financial system is in a stable, equilibrium, normal state. And despite the difficulties that we had several years ago, this system was balanced due to successful decisions made by the Central Bank, which were resonant, but which ultimately proved to be successful, "the head of government emphasized.. However, this does not mean that one should sit idly by. The Bank of Russia will continue to work to improve the financial system, and the government will do everything possible to further reduce the dependence of the Russian economy on oil and gas.
To date, the treasury is filled by 60% due to non-oil revenues.
"It is desirable that these sources should be 80 percent, 85 percent, so that we are not so dependent on all trends in the oil market. Therefore, the task of changing the structure of the economy - the implementation of structural reforms in necessary cases ... The exit of the state from some industries, or, conversely, if appropriate, the state's entry into some segments - it (the task) remains relevant, "the official said..
