Olga Skorobogatova added that the Central Bank “considers one of the priority schemes for replenishing fintech solutions in foreign countries through the SBP.” Several similar projects already exist, she noted, and they pose fewer risks for Russian counterparties. When asked whether the goal of connecting 30 countries to the Mir payment system by 2030 will remain, Ms. Skorobogatova replied that this will be clear in the middle of the year.
