July 17, Fineko/abc.az. The inflow of foreign currency to Russia is decreasing as trade increasingly shifts to settlements in rubles. This reflects the impact of Western efforts to limit Russia's cross-border operations.

ABC.AZ reports that Bloomberg writes about this.

According to the data of the Bank of Russia, published late on Wednesday, July 16, more than half of Russian exports are paid in rubles. Payments in so-called friendly currencies - mainly in Chinese yuans - currently account for only a third of receipts, compared with almost half that peaked a year earlier, while the share of “unfriendly" currencies is only 15%.
