Russia and Türkiye did not discuss the transfer of payments to third countries – Kommersant

Establishing settlements between Turkey and the Russian Federation through third countries was not discussed, as this is risky. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a source in the banking sector.

“No, this was not discussed. This carries risks,” the agency’s interlocutor commented on the likelihood of using third countries to solve the problem with payment transfers between Ankara and Moscow.

In February Vedomosti reportedthat Turkish banks began to close the accounts of Russian companies. Last week, according to Izvestia, Turkish banks resumed settlements with Russia for a number of goods and services. The refusal of Turkish banks to maintain correspondent relations with Russian partners led to a fall in the position of the lira on the market in the Russian Federation.

Details – in the material “Kommersant” “The Lira is losing liquidity in Russia”.
