Foreign currency exchange rates set by the central bank have been reduced.
Get ready to make your money moves, peeps! As of tomorrow, June 4, the Bank of Russia has just shaken up the exchange rates of popular foreign currencies.
So, what's going down, you ask? The euro has taken a dip once more, now trading below the 90-rubles mark. The US dollar isn't faring much better, dropping by a chunky 27.36 kopecks. And, if you're into the Chinese yuan, it's dipped by 3.24 kopecks too.
Market dynamics and economic factors are the reasons behind this move. The Bank of Russia might be trying to adjust the ruble's value to weather any economic storms or to keep the currency stable amidst pressures. This could also mean exports becoming a tad cheaper, potentially kicking off some economic action.
But there's more to it. Russia's economy has been bucking the trend lately, showing some resilience with a 5.6% GDP growth since 2022 through 2024. Still, the country faces economic challenges, such as inflation and sanctions. The Bank of Russia might be tweaking exchange rates as part of broader economic strategies to manage these challenges better.
Are you curious about the new rates? Here's what they are:
- US Dollar: Now sitting at 78.8549 rubles, down 27 kopecks from the previous rate.
- Euro: As of now, you'll be forking out 89.9267 rubles to grab that euro, down 45 kopecks.
- Chinese Yuan: Chiming in at 10.9128 rubles, the yuan is 3 kopecks lighter in your pocket.
Stay tuned, people! As the situation develops, you can catch all the updates here. Cheers to making those paper stacks work for you!

In light of the Bank of Russia's adjustments to exchange rates, we might witness a potential impact on various sectors, including the finance, banking-and-insurance, and industry sectors as imported goods could become either more expensive or cheaper. The new exchange rates could influence businesses' operational costs and consumer spending patterns.
The recent emphasis on economic strategies by the Bank of Russia indicates a struggle to manage economic challenges such as inflation and sanctions, which might have an influence on the overall health of the Russian economy.
