Russia may ban the circulation of the United States dollar, according to Farid Akbarov of APA.
A bill has been submitted in The State Duma calling for the banning and terminating the circulation of USD in Russia.
If the bill is approved, Russian citizens will have to close their dollar accounts in Russian banks within a year and exchange their dollars in cash to Russian ruble or other countries’ currencies.
Otherwise their accounts will be frozen and cash dollars levied by police, customs, tax, border, and migration services confiscated.
If the law enters into force, it will be impossible to legally obtain cash dollars in Russia. The ban or termination of the US dollar will not apply to the exchange operations carried out by Russian Central Bank, the Russian government, ministries of foreign affairs and defense, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Federal Security Service.
