On Friday, February 14, the Central Bank of Russia decided to keep the key rate unchanged at 21%. After that, according to official trading data, the dollar noticeably increased against the ruble.
We are talking about 91 rubles to one unit of American currency.
EADaily reminds that a day earlier, on February 13, after the publication of the first results of Vladimir Putin's talks with Donald Trump, the ruble noticeably added to the dollar — 89 to 1. Due to such a strong exchange rate fluctuation last Thursday, off-bank currency exchangers were massively closed in Russian cities.
