Presidente Putin aprova um rublo digital
- O rublo digital entrará em vigor a partir de 1º de agosto de 2023.
- O governo russo não espera uma adoção massiva do novo CBDC até 2025 ou 2027.
- Russian lawmakers believe the CBDC could help improve the country’s economy and also help Russia navigate Western sanctions.
Oficial documentos in Russia have confirmed that President Vladimir Putin signed the digital ruble into law on Monday, July 24, furthering Russia’s ambition for a central bank digital currency (CBDC). As per reports, the new law will be effected from August 1, 2023.
The digital ruble will serve as another payment option for Russians and will be overseen by the country’s central bank. The digital ruble however does not serve investment purposes. Interestingly, Russian citizens will not be forced to use the digital ruble.
De acordo com a governadora do Banco da Rússia, Elvira Nabiullina,
No one is going to force anyone into the digital ruble […] But we really hope that it will be more convenient and cheaper for both people and businesses, and they will start using it. This is a new opportunity.
While the digital ruble is a significant step in Russia’s push for a digital economy, Bank of Russia deputy governor Olga Skorobogatova revealed that the government does not anticipate massive adoption of the CBDC until 2025 or 2027.
Os legisladores russos mostraram uma velocidade notável em empurrando para a frente políticas para um CBDC, mas até agora mostraram pouco interesse em lançar regulamentos para o espaço criptográfico mais amplo.
O Banco da Rússia desenvolve o projeto CBDC desde 2020, quando lançou seu trabalho de pesquisa inicial sobre o assunto. O regulador financeiro posteriormente alterou o relatório para incluir comentários de bancos russos e outros participantes do setor financeiro.
The Bank of Russia originally viewed the digital ruble project as both a way of avoiding sanctions and an instrument to monitor how the government is using funds designated for social programs. Furthermore, experts believe the digital ruble could be a plus for Russia’s economy. Russia could possibly leverage the digital ruble to avoid some of the financial restrictions caused by Western and European sanctions.
