The real use of the digital ruble will begin in 2023
The head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira Nabiullina, said that the development of a national digital currency is in full swing and next year the agency will conduct the first real settlements in the digital ruble.
As for me, it is quite expected news, if of course it is true. If we assume that this is an official statement, then everything suggests that right now in the world, at least in the financial sector, changes are taking place. This may also be a confirmation of the statements of many economists in favor of the creation of new currency zones, which will certainly lead to a transition to a completely digital format. Moreover, other large countries are already working on creating their own national digital currencies, which will ensure, first of all, reliability, security and speed of work, and to some extent, and maybe even completely, will allow creating completely sovereign financial systems, money. It is too early to say how it will be in reality, it remains only to wait for the specified period and see everything with your own eyes.
