“In March 2022, the share of “unfriendly” currencies reached 84.7%. Then it has decreased almost five times — to 17.8%. Payments in rubles, on the contrary, increased 3.5 times, and in friendly currencies almost 15 times,” the Chairman of the State Duma posted on his Telegram channel.
Thus, more than 90% of payments in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) are made in national currencies, and talking about trade between Russia and China, 95% of all transactions are made in rubles and yuan, as recalls Vyacheslav Volodin.
“Restrictions on making payments and theft of gold and foreign exchange reserves should make other states think about the reliability of storing their funds in American currency,” emphasized the Chairman of the State Duma.
“Now all countries have begun to understand that the United States uses its currency as a tool of political pressure,” he added.
“Not only Russia refuses to use the toxic dollar. Many sovereign states, in particular the BRICS countries, are looking for an alternative, The USD has discredited itself as a world reserve currency. De-dollarization of the world is inevitable,” concluded Vyacheslav Volodin.
