Russians in June for the first time simultaneously reduced all foreign currency savings: cash, on deposits in Russian and foreign banks, with brokers. On the corresponding data of the Central Bank the first drew attention of the RIA Novosti agency. The most significant decline was recorded in deposits in Russian banks. On January 1, they had currency worth 3.88 trillion rubles, on July 1 – 3.94 trillion rubles. However, due to a significant weakening of the ruble in dollars (at the rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the corresponding date of each month), they decreased from $55.1 billion to $44.6 billion. Over the past month, they have decreased by $1.7 billion.

Cash savings in dollar terms in June fell by 1.2%, to $95.2 billion (8.4 trillion rubles), funds in brokerage accounts – by 9%, to $2.9 billion (257.4 billion rubles). . A slight reduction in funds was also recorded on foreign currency deposits in foreign banks, which had previously grown both in rubles and in dollar terms.
