Russian Duma committee proposes limiting digital ruble use in reserve fund to 2027 only
- —The government submitted bill No. 616-9 amending the Budget Code on September 30
- —The committee proposed moving the provision to bill No. 619-9, which covers 2027 budgets
- —The digital ruble platform has 270,000 accounts and 36 connected banks
- —The Duma passed a first reading of a bill allowing digital ruble settlements with foreign partners
Why it matters: A permanent rule would embed the digital ruble in budget operations; the delay signals uncertainty among lawmakers and the regulator.
