Financial market participants doubt the need for a digital ruble

January 12. FINMARKET.RU – Until December 31, 2020, associations of financial market participants had to submit to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation their views on the introduction of the digital ruble. The regulator invited them to answer questions about the need to introduce a digital currency and how to implement the project. Not all organizations have already sent their ideas to the regulator, but Kommersant was able to get acquainted with a number of responses, in particular from the Association of Electronic Money and Money Transfer Market Participants (AED) and the National Council on the Financial Market (NSFR).
