Free AccessEconomy Minister Reshetnikov Says RUB Strength May Hit Industry Output
- Russia FinMin Siluanov mentioned at a business event that the government was open to further easing of capital controls and may use energy excess revenue for FX interventions.
- Siluanov added that the government will discuss Ruble impact on exporters next week and may let exporters take FX payments in cash.
- Interestingly, Russian officials have talked about the Ruble strength on several occasions in recent weeks, pushing the central bank to take measures to weaken it to improve the country's competitiveness.
- Economy minister Reshetnikov mentioned today that continued RUB strength may hit industry output.
- According to BBG quote, RUB is the 'strongest' currency in the world this year, up 45% against the USD (see chart below) and trading close to a 7-year high against the Euro.
- However, we have questioned in recent weeks the ‘Ruble recovery’ given the current macro outlook with some Russia officials underestimating the economic impact of the war for 2022 (officials estimate a ‘mild’ 3% contraction while some analysts expect a 10% contraction in GDP this year).
- For instance, MNI ‘fair’ value of EURRUB prices in an exchange rate closer to 95 (using a set of macro and financial variables); the chart shows the strong divergence between the ‘spot’ rate and the ‘fair’ value rate since the beginning of April.
