invasion of ukraine. last year. russia became the most sang to nation on earth until now the kremlin found ways around the in bar goes, but the pain couldn't be avoided forever. on monday, the rubel felt its lowest level in 16 months. the bright red light on one of moscow's many exchange places could have been seen as a sign of alarm. the rubel at $102.00 to the dollar on monday, hitting its weakest level since the start of the war. on tuesday, the currency showed signs of life after the central bank step 10, raising rates to 12 percent of the kremlin to the test. after all, the political leadership said it was loose, monetary policy that had weakened the ruble. musk advice have long been concerned over the trend lowest and what soon becomes more and more expensive. so those i wish on saturdays with the same as the dollar exchange rate does, let me have you all done with the much with you. i think you feel the weakening

ruble later because we always see this training when the dollar is rising. it is followed by the prices rising and the stores of courses will affect us. and it likely will, for some time the central bank, even though it followed the kremlin orders, it says it's policy isn't the reason behind the rubles weakness, but the absence of trade. indeed, the rubel has been under pressure ever since russia attacked ukraine. international sanctions have led to export revenues. dwindling. russia is gross. domestic product is down. the country is in procession. for more on this, i'm joined now by maximilian has. he's a fellow at the foreign policy research institute. hi maximilian maximilian, the rubel or is less than one us send on monday. what does that mean for people living in russia as well?

it certainly is going to have a real impact on russian's ability to afford most basic goods. you know, we just heard some very good comments from russians on the street there. i don't think you will have too much immediate impact on the overall quality of life. but we have to remember quality of life and rushes still below 2013 levels. and it's a psychologically very symbolically important level. right, so why did rush us currency take a dive now? well essentially, you know, 18 months into the war. we're still in a situation where despite the criminal and imposing significant and capital controls, despite sanctions, there's a lot of demand in russia for money to get out of that economy. and we just need to look at the airport as dunbar and to buy. and there's very little demand for actually buying russian products, at least the rubles with russia does still sell internationally, is it's oil and found a lot of new customers in india and asia there. but that's all dollars and nominate

and what makes it so worrying for the russians they is, they just ended their process known as the budget rule through which they convert. currency is from dollars they earned through those sales to the rubel. and they had a band and that a week ago. and so there's a lot of question now about what this will be for the rubles trajectory going forward. outage of those was, is that the oil price is actually strengthened. we should make the rouble increase in value, but instead it was falling off a clip over the weekend. right. so what's the role of sanctions and all of this that they cause the dive? it's certainly the cause of diving to it is one, you know, with a lot of russian seeking to get their money out of the country, the beginning of last year, the crime and then weaponized. it's gas supplies. in fact, we drove prices up for that, that really helped the rouble recover through last year. but now we've essentially reached this place where sanctions means that it's so hard to buy or to trade or invest in russia with room also that's decreased the demand for the russian

currency there. and then even more importantly, because they target the russian central bank and russel's ability for its government to use those dollars that earns essentially a dollar or a euro, or a swiss franc, or again, once it crosses the digital or physical frontier with russia. because now it was somewhat less than any other unit of that currency that's abroad. and so that's, you know, even bigger turn off for the rest of the economy on a macro level, of course, for individual companies in the light that have been directly targeted by sanctions . other very significant additional um, sort of micro economic impacts as well. right. so the sanctions fighting there, thank you so much lexie media and has good your own. it's 2 years ago today the tale binds his power. so i was going to study the radical islamic were promised the revival of the country's economy. those plans did not materialize. i've got a son remains the world's largest humanitarian crisis in 2023. that's according to the united nations live for us guns as awesome daily struggle for survival.
