Russia has started a suicidal game/Channel 24
The Kremlin says that some countries have expressed interest in settlements in national currencies with Russia.
For you to understand, the option in which Russia pays Indonesia in rupees, and she pays her in rubles, is something like if instead of traveling 4 stops along one metro line to the center with a 2-minute wait, you first go to one minibus, you know where, and then from there you go to the center and wait 15 minutes for each minibus.
Financial idiocy
It's just not obvious that you're carrying extras. Sell on the market rubles against rupees, maybe, and maybe, but it's just not profitable and incurs additional costs. Selling rubles against the rupee on the market can and will be possible, but it is very difficult and at high cost.
At the same time, currency risks are higher. Normal people, even in this case, will carry out an exchange from the ruble to the rupee through the dollar.
In short, this is not a brilliant financial decision at all, but the usual stubbornness for political reasons. Well, it’s not just that they try to trade through the dollar or the euro. It's stupidly more profitable.
But that's okay, bring yourself down further. More counter-sanctions for the god of counter-sanctions!
