Sberbank of Russia announced the restriction of the list of currencies available for transfer in the territory of the Russian Federation. This is stated in the Telegram channel of the bank.

From March 18, bank customers will not be able to make a transfer to another bank in US dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, Danish and Swedish kronas.

" This means that it will not be possible to make a transfer to another bank in US dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, Danish and Swedish krona in Sberbank..

At the same time, in addition to rubles, Russia has not yet run out of euros, yens, Swiss francs, Norwegian krones and Singapore dollars.

"

It is also interesting that transfers abroad through the SberBank Online application remain available only in euros..

Recall that on March 17, the Russian Federation, which is under a ban on the sale and supply of cash dollars, and a few days ago was going to make payments on its external debt in rubles, announced that it had found the currency and paid the coupon in dollars.

However, as of the close of trading on the London Stock Exchange on March 16, the holders of Russian bonds have not received coupon payments in dollars..

If the message of the Russian Federation on the payment of the debt is not confirmed, this will mean the default of the country. If Russia nevertheless found dollars to make a payment, the next payment will need to be made on April 4. Otherwise, the aggressor country will still suffer a default.

In addition, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation will have to pay coupon income on sovereign Eurobonds denominated in dollars as early as next Monday, March 21. Emission documents testify to this..
