CBR is to limit the exchange rate spread (the difference between buying and selling rates) in exchange offices – such a request in a letter to the head of the Central Bank Nabiullina asked a member of the Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes Dmitry Ushakov , wrote on Monday, the newspaper “Izvestia”.
According to Ushakov, “the difference between the rate of sale and purchase of currency reaches 20-30 rubles and more. As a result, the selling rate of exchange may significantly exceed the official rate of the Central Bank, and the current exchange rate, which further provoked panic among the population and motivates citizens to purchase foreign currency for obviously greatly inflated rate. Many people, unfortunately, watching the exchange rate only on the basis of the exhibited courses in nearby cash desks of banks. This leads to significant losses for the population bought the currency at a maximum sentence of banks selling rate, they have to lose up to 30-40% on the difference between the sale of currency at the rate of purchase “.
In addition, this situation affects the importers and sellers of imported products: they count the sales prices at the rate of sale, offering banks, which unnecessarily increases the risk of inflation in 2015, indicates Ushakov.
“No one wants to prohibit banks to sell the currency at the prices that he is correct – he explained” Izvestia “. – Banks have the right to sell the currency at any price they deem appropriate market . But if you put up for sale, say, EUR 100 rubles and think it’s the market price, then be kind to buy it for 95 rubles. ”
According to Ushakov, the Central Bank of Russia has the right to limit the exchange rate spreads in bank exchange offices 5% – such a spread, usually used by the Bank until the autumn of last year.
Earlier on, that the Central Bank “watching” the situation and “does not exclude” the introduction of restrictions on the exchange rate difference, said deputy chairman Mikhail Sukhov .
