Denisov stated that the share of the Euro has also increased and pointed to the continuation of trade relations between Russia and Europe as the reason for this.

Denisov said that in 2023, transactions will start in the currencies of Russia’s important trading partners, such as the United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan and Egypt, on the Moscow Stock Exchange.
