Russia's Central Bank to Assess Borrowers by Official Income from 2027 in Digital Ruble Push
- —From mid-2027, Russian banks will assess borrowers by official income
- —Since September 1, 2026, salaries can be paid in digital rubles voluntarily
- —Digital ruble salaries flow through the Central Bank platform and count as legal income
- —Nabiullina called it the third of planned measures; banks see it as tightening
Why it matters: The move expands digital ruble adoption and could reshape lending practices in Russia by pushing income out of the shadow economy.
