Banks that fall under the punishment of the West, increasing foreign currency balances at the National clearing centre (NCC), said sources in the foreign exchange Committee of the capital stock exchange, which has the NFPs.
Banks transfer money from Western credit institutions in NFPs to keep the currency within the country, they say " Vedomosti ". This led to an increase of the currency balances in NCC 3, $ 2 billion at the beginning of the year, presumably to $ 20 billion." The Central Bank did not give the opportunity to open foreign currency deposits, for this reason, Banks have to keep funds in NCC, " said a member of the Department of capital exchange. In his vision, fifteen billion dollars in the accounts of the NCC - It means that the Banks (mostly placed under sanctions) keep in NCC as a safety cushion." Even coined the term " Russian dollar - dollar in the country ", - said the banker. It decides the problem of blocking of accounts, if it occurs, the Commissioner considers Sberbank." Calculations on client operations with foreign banks from these accounts will be very difficult if at all possible, " he said. Remember, the relationship between Russia and the West deteriorated in connection with the situation in Ukraine. The EU imposed against Russia fresh penalties against financial, oil and defense industries. Also expanded the list of individuals who are under punishment. The U.S. Also imposed fresh sanctions against the largest Russian organizations, as well as among them, Gazprom, LUKOIL, Sberbank, VTB, the state Corporation rostec and other.
