Candidate of Economic Sciences Denis Perepelitsa, who is the director of the federal methodological center for financial literacy and associate professor of the department of global financial markets and fintech of the Russian Economic University. G.V. Plekhanov, made a forecast about a possible increase in the dollar exchange rate against the Russian ruble to 95 rubles in April of this year.

According to the expert, the markets reacted to the latest tragic events by depreciating the ruble, while a further decline in the national currency is possible due to increased capital outflow due to the increased terrorist threat, reports “Gazeta.Ru”.

However, according to Perepelitsa’s forecast, the negative impact on the ruble should soften by the summer if the likelihood of a terrorist threat decreases. Therefore, the economist advises those planning to carry out foreign exchange transactions to make decisions based on personal circumstances and carefully monitor the current situation in the financial markets.
