Deputy of the State Duma from the Krasnodar Territory Sergey Altukhov spoke about a set of bills regulating the circulation of a new form of national currency – the digital ruble. The Kuban politician became one of the authors of these initiatives, which the State Duma adopted at first reading.
Sergey Altukhov said that the digital ruble is the same national currency only in a new form. According to politicians, people used to be suspicious of the appearance of payment cards, but over time they were convinced of the advantage of cashless transactions. It is not only comfortable and safe, but also allows you to receive additional fees or cashback. The digital ruble will give users the ability to pay for online purchases, as well as non-cash money. In this case, this form of currency can be used even in the absence of network access. The Central Bank will issue and keep records of the digital ruble, it will also become the platform operator of this currency.
The MP added that currently the issues of concluding and terminating contracts on digital accounts, performing operations on them, foreign currency delisting are regulated by law. The digital ruble can be used to divide and bequeath property, pay for purchases in regular stores, and large international transactions. The parliamentarians concluded that this was a first step towards the creation of a modern system of international settlements with counterparts in friendly states.
Thus, in accordance with the central guidelines of the unified monetary policy approved by the State Duma, this year it is planned to launch digital ruble settlements between citizens, as well as between individuals and organizations. In the coming year, the circulation of the digital ruble will gradually become established among credit institutions, and a year later – among non-bank financial institutions.
