In March 2026, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation will not conduct transactions for the purchase/sale of foreign currency and gold on the domestic foreign exchange market within the framework of the budget rule. This is reported on the ministry's website.
Operations are suspended due to planned changes in the base oil price parameter in the budget legislation.
Upon resumption of operations, the volume of deferred purchase/sale will be adjusted to reflect the new parameters of the base oil price.
From February 6, 2026 to March 5, 2026, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation sells 226.8 billion rubles worth of foreign currency and gold under the budget rule. The daily volume of transactions is the equivalent of 11.9 billion rubles.
