Russia suspends budget rule FX transactions until July

Russia has officially suspended foreign exchange transactions under its budget rule until July 1. The government and finance ministry provided this specific timeline on Monday, clarifying previous indications that the suspension would last through the summer. The shift in policy is attributed to the recent appreciation of Oil (commodity) prices and upcoming modifications to the base price parameters. These adjustments aim to strengthen the nation's financial system and ensure the long-term sustainability of public finances.
