However, since the beginning of the year the currency become more expensive. In November, amid a serious fall in oil prices, the devaluation has increased: in “Black Tuesday”, Dec. 16, the dollar reached a peak at 80.1 rubles, euro – 100.74.

49%
- It is on so much since the summer of 2014 the price of oil fell brand Brent. Back in June, it was worth 111.6 dollars, and at the end of December – 56.8. Among the reasons, which are called to explain such a serious fall, there is slowing of the Chinese economy, and the strengthening of the dollar against major world currencies and the US conspiracy against Russia, on the other hand, Saudi Arabia plot against the United States, where the high cost of “black gold “has become profitable to extract inaccessible shale oil.
Whatever it was, but the price of oil falls, Saudi Arabia does not reduce production, and the Russian budget in 2015 been drawn up based on the target price of 96 dollars per barrel of Russian Urals. The latter is usually cheaper for one or two dollar than Brent, due to the high sulfur content. As a result, recently said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, the federal government will be forced to cut budget costs 2.6 trillion (currently planned expenditures – 15.5 trillion).
25 – 30%
- In such a figure praised President Vladimir Putin share of sanctions in the current problems of the Russian economy. “And if we believe that one of the problems that we have today, including in the economy, as a result of sanctions, effective, and this is the case, the total volume of problems, if we arbitrarily take 25 percent, perhaps it is the impact of sanctions – 25-30 “, – he said during his final press conference on December 18.
The first US sanctions, the EU, Canada and Australia have introduced with regard to Russia immediately after the Crimean referendum. First, they referred to specific officials, and then they began to include companies and even entire sectors of the economy. As a result, now the largest state-owned banks can not obtain loans for a long time abroad, which was one of the reasons for the devaluation: until the end of the year, Russian companies have had to pay for the foreign debt of 30 billion dollars. Defense enterprises are faced with the problems of procurement of spare parts for previously purchased foreign machine tools, as well as components for its products. All of this changed attitude to sanctions over which first official propaganda laughed: in September in Moscow handed out T-shirt with the image of the missile complex “Iskander” and the words “Sanctions? Do not tell my “Iskander” ».
