Nabiullina responded by awarding her the status of “destroyer of the year”

Chairman of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina, commenting on Politico’s awarding her with the status of “destroyer of the year,” said that the regulator intends to pursue a policy aimed at the stability of the financial sector of the Russian Federation and the preservation of the savings of businesses and citizens.

“We see that the structural restructuring of the economy is proceeding quite quickly. And this is primarily due to the market nature of our economy, business, which adapted very quickly. Of course, there is a temptation to think that we went through 2022 so well and now we are, as they say, knee-deep in the sea. But we must be prepared for increased sanctions pressure,” Ms. Nabiullina said in an interview RBC. The head of the Central Bank refused to comment on her attitude to the status of “destroyer of the year” according to Politico.

November 29 edition of Politico named several “persons of the year” who had the greatest impact on world politics, economics and public life in 2023. Elvira Nabiullina received the status of “destroyer of the year” from Politico experts for her contribution to strengthening the Russian economy. According to the authors of the publication, Elvira Nabiullina, thanks to the monetary policy pursued by the Bank of Russia, “managed to prevent the consequences of unprecedented Western sanctions against the Russian Federation, designed to empty the Kremlin’s treasury.” According to the publication, the “Dreamer of the Year” was the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, and the “Person of the Year” was the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk.
