Russian exporters return 99.5% of foreign exchange earnings to the credit of the state. This is what the head of Rospiniori's surveillance field, Yuriy Chichenchin, said in a working meeting with President Vladimir Putin. We are only talking about the receipts that are subject to the refund requirement, and not about all the export profits. At the same time, the share of settlements under export contracts in national currencies reached 87%. This is another indicator: it describes in which currencies the parties make payments, while 99.5% characterizes the return of the corresponding consideration to Russia. Indicators cannot be combined. For foreign trade, both processes are important: receiving payment from a foreign buyer and then crediting funds to the country. The data cited by Chikhanchin show a high level of compliance with the repatriation requirement and the significant role of national currencies in export payments. It is the combination of these parameters that determines the picture he describes of the movement of export money. Ξeconomics.
